Abstract

Conservatism in theological belief, moral values and attitude
toward ecclesiastical practices was measured in a sample of
5967 ordained and lay Anglicans in the Church of England.
Average scores were compared between those who classed
themselves as Anglo-catholic, broad church or evangelical,
and by six different age cohorts. Overall, most measures of
conservatism showed decline among more recent cohorts,
but there were marked differences between traditions.
Younger evangelicals showed little or no decline in theological
or moral conservatism, and, in the case of Bible beliefs,
were more conservative than their older counterparts. In
ecclesiastical variables, however, Anglo-catholics were often
more conservative and younger evangelicals showed less
conservatism than other traditions or older evangelicals. The
findings suggest that the divide between traditions is
increasing among younger generations mainly because those
in Anglo-catholic and broad-church traditions are becoming
more liberal on theological or moral matters, whereas
evangelicals are maintaining traditional conservative views
of theology and morality but becoming less traditional in
matters ecclesiastical.
