Faith in Rural Communities: Contributions of Social Capital to Community Vibrancy is the result of an 18 month study, supported by Defra carried out by Coventry University in partnership with the Arthur Rank Centre and the Church of England National Rural Officer. Vibrant rural communities are sustained and enhanced by the informal and individual actions of people of faith. These often small and unseen actions benefit the whole community.
