Opinions on Family and Social Issues Associated with Religious Practice in Southeast Asia

Abstract

This second part of the data analysis of a large sample of Seventh-day Adventist church members addresses opinions and practices relating to family and social issues. It identifies differences in opinion with age, gender, religious orientation and region of church membership. It challenges church professionals to acknowledge the level of polarization of opinion and to develop strategies that will maintain cohesiveness of belief yet accommodate perspectives within the social dynamics of developing SE Asian countries.
