Electronic church will be studied NEW YORK (NC) - The impact of television evangelism "the electronic church" - will be studied by a coalition representing groups such as the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) and the National Council of Churches (NCC). . The study was announced by the NCC Communications Com. mission, which initiated the effort. According to the commission's head, William Fore, 16 institutions are represented on the committee backing the project. Richard Hirsch, USCC communications secretary, is its chairman. "This could very well be the most significant research - if not in religion, certainly in religious communications - in the last 20 years," Fore told the commission. One of its most important aspects according to Fore, "is the fact that it represents one of the few significant points of contact between mainline and independent church groups in America today." oA billion-dollar-a-year business, the electronic church emerged as a major concern of mainline denominations during the 1970s. Some mainline officials argued that religion on television would hurt religion in church, keeping Christians out of the pews. Others criticized most television preachers as simplistic, commercialized and conservative. All the while debate continued about whether the mainline churches should join the' fray and buy their own air time. The electronic church res~arcli project is designed in part to answer such questions. The basic question to be examined is how the electronic church affects people's religious lives, including their involvement with their local church and community. The study, to be completed in late 1982, is designed to find out who watches the electronic church, what messages they receive and why they watch.
