?:abstract
  • Explores the meaning of church rituals & rites of passage in Flanders, Belgium, drawing on data from the 1990 European Values Survey (N = 929 respondents) & a review of the literature. Focus is on the influence of age & sex on attitudes toward baptism; the religious characteristics of people who view baptism as important to celebrate a birth; & the extent to which that attitude is linked with religiosity & spiritual behavior. It is discovered that a majority of Flemish, regardless of belief system, consider religious ritual important to marking life events. The Catholic church faces little competition for these practices: it represents a centuries-old tradition viewed as appropriately ceremonial & sacred for separating special moments from everyday events, & for intensifying ties with family & past.
