Abstract
Successive generations of pupils throughout two comprehensive secondary schools in East Anglia completed the same scale of attitude towards Christianity in 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986 and 1990. Previous reports on these data have described a progressive hardening of attitudes from one survey to the next. The new 1990 data, however, signal a change in this trend, with an overall movement to a more positive attitude since 1986. This movement suggests a greater openness to religious issues rather than a renewed commitment to the Christian tradition
