The Christian Research provides Census reports for congregations. These reports are specifically designed to help congregations look at the changes occurring in the area which may affect the congregation and to the needs which congregations may address.

The picture of religious life in Australia has changed. It is considerably different in the 1990s from what it was in the 1950s, or even in the 70s and 80s. Many people have predicted that interest in religion would decline, but instead there are strong signs of growth.

Quietly, with comparatively little drama, a large number of very different religious groups came and settled in Australia, becoming part of the landscape, part of Australian life and society. As these groups have settled in they have come to be accepted such that now Australian society can be described as having many religions, all Australian. Hence the title, Many Religions, All Australian.

Changing Society, Changing Religion is a CD containing 8 presentations with visual components and sound.
These presentations look at
- the history of religion in Australia and the impact of immigration,
- religious pluralism, globalism and evidence for secularisation,
- changing forms of community life and social capital,
- changing culture and views of the world,
- and the transition from traditional to post-traditional forms of society.
The presentations suggest ways in which churches and religious organisations might respond to these changes and prepare people for the spiritual pathways of the 21st century.
The CD-Rom will run on any computer with a web-browser and a sound card. The presentations were prepared by Philip Hughes, senior research officer of the Christian Research Association. The CD-Rom is available from the CRA for $18 including postage.
