Details of two interesting new websites have been released today:
Neighbourhood Love is based on the premise that Christian churches are doing good things that are relevant to where you live. You can share your story, be inspired by others, join in the discussion, submit your photos, download and use their logo and email attachment, lend a hand ….
Neighbourhood Love is promoted by Chelmsford Diocese in the Church of England but it doesn’t champion any particular church community or place. Its role is in caring and helping, not preaching - and it’s definitely not a substitute for conversation!
British Religion in Numbers (BRIN) is an online religious data resource. Numbers aren't just for statisticians. People want to visualise and understand data for work, for study, for general interest, or to settle a debate. Many debates over religion rest on questions of how large? how many? how typical?
Religious data sources tend to be difficult to find, or need a good deal of interpretation. For example, is Britain 72% Christian, as the 2001 Census reported, or 50% Christian, as found by the 2008 British Social Attitudes survey? The site wants to draw religious data sources together, explain how data can be used, and present some examples intuitively to a wide audience. BRIN is based at the University of Manchester and supported by the Religion and Society research programme.
