AB  - Many theologians have called for a re-examination of traditional 
  religious practices and beliefs as they exist today in urban societies. Some 
  argue that churches have not changed as quickly or as deeply as is necessary 
  to confront key modern issues. Religious institutions often appear to be by 
  passed by other social institutions and important individual and societal concerns 
  do not appear in church agenda. The process by which religious institutions 
  are separated from other social arrangements and lose influence throughout many 
  areas of life is known as secularization. Historically, secularization and urbanization 
  have been linked together and the goal of this study is to show how each process 
  has influenced the other.
