Krindatch, A. (2020, October 15). Exploring Orthodox Generosity: Giving in US Orthodox Christian Parishes
Summary
This data-file was used to conduct the national study "Exploring Orthodox Generosity: Giving in US Orthodox Parishes." The nationally representative sample includes over 2,800 respondents - the lay-members of US various Orthodox Christian Churches. The study had three main goals:
1. To examine patterns and trends in religious giving among Orthodox Church members: both to their home parishes (congregations) and to wider religious causes;
2. To explore differences in giving between members of various Orthodox jurisdictions (denominations) and between various categories of parishioners (in particular, between various generations and between cradle Orthodox and converts to Orthodoxy);
3. To learn what might be done to increase "generosity" of church members.
