我们有可能对现有的统计数据进行解释，认为--如果考虑到少数民族传统的存在--世纪初伦敦的宗教活动水平与20世纪世纪初相当相似。伦敦在某些方面可能是例外的，但它仍然表明了过去半个世纪更广泛的宗教变革模式，迄今为止很少受到学术界的关注。伦敦的案例揭示了一幅衰落与复兴同时发生的动态画面，五旬节派、印度教、伊斯兰教和锡克教总体上迅速增长，而传统的基督教教派则普遍在收缩。然而，基督教的情况在地方一级进一步多样化，甚至在历史悠久的教堂中也有显著的增长，特别是但不仅仅是在伦敦的英国圣公会教区。此外，许多宗教团体更广泛的社会参与使它们的影响超出了其实际成员的范围。
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.
