  1. Very interesting. And very interesting too to consider what "belonging to" means and involves in each case - paying a subscription (even if you never/rarely use the services), taking part in regular activities, taking active part in the administration/organisation/decision-making/running of the particular group?

  2. good point and thanks for the comment re "belonging to"

    from my experience in c of e regulars are now people who attend twice a month and many others would say they belong by attending monthly or at the big festivals
