It is possible to interpret the available statistical evidence to argue that — when the presence of minority traditions is taken into account — the level of religious practice in London in the early twenty-first century was quite similar to that in the early twentieth century. London may be exceptional in some respects, but it is nevertheless indicative of wider patterns of religious change over the last half-century, which have hitherto received little academic attention. The London case reveals a dynamic picture of simultaneous decline and resurgence, with overall rapid growth in Pentecostalism, Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism while traditional Christian denominations have generally been contracting. However, the Christian picture is further variegated at the local level, with significant pockets of growth even in the historic churches, notably but not only in the Church of England Diocese of London. Moreover, the wider social engagements of many religious groups have given them an impact beyond their actual membership.

走向后世俗城市？1960 年代以来的伦敦

可以解释现有的统计证据，认为——当考虑到少数民族传统的存在时——21 世纪初伦敦的宗教实践水平与 20 世纪初非常相似。伦敦在某些方面可能是例外，但它仍然表明了过去半个世纪以来更广泛的宗教变革模式，迄今为止，这些模式很少受到学术界的关注。伦敦的案例揭示了同时衰落和复兴的动态图景，五旬节教、印度教、伊斯兰教和锡克教整体快速增长，而传统基督教教派则普遍萎缩。然而，基督教在地方层面的情况更加多样化，即​​使在历史悠久的教堂中也有显着的增长，值得注意的是，但不仅限于英国教会伦敦教区。此外，许多宗教团体更广泛的社会参与给他们带来了超出其实际成员资格的影响。
