  I think there's probably a great deal of truth in that, Howard. Certainly rural churches would have been full as most would be expected to be there to be seen by the squire and I imagine a similar power was exerted on urban dwellers if the factory owners went to church.
  Changing lifestyles - most adults in households working so weekends spent catching up on domestic chores; Sunday trading; Sunday football etc mean there is less 'free time' and when combined with the 'me first' culture there is little time/thought for the bigger picture.
  The church has carried on regardless but needs to up its game if it is to be of relevance to today's generation.
