Dr. Ruth Powell, director of the National Church Life Survey (NCLS) joins Tim Beilharz to discuss the NCLS's Child Survey which hears from 8 to 14 year olds in the churches. Ruth shares data from the 2021-2022 Child Survey which answers such questions as:
- What do children think about church and about the Christian faith?
- Who do children look to as positive role models in their family and in the church?
- How would children like to participate in ministry in the church?
The NCLS is one of the largest, most comprehensive databases on church life of its kind in the world. You can find out about the NCLS and access a number of their publicly available research papers at ncls.org.au
Ruth talks to Jonathan Cole on The Political Animals podcast about the larger adult NCLS survey results here.
