On the contrary, amidst that paper’s prominent reporting <strong>of</strong> the wider Anglican obsession with promiscuity, there were regular items on this. This started as early as 18 January 1963, when there are complaints about the BBC’s turn ‘towards cheapness and vulgarity’ in abolishing restrictions on jokes about sex. Besides references to MRA (Moral Re-Armament)’s campaigns against the media (e.g. 20 September 1963), items on sex, promiscuity and television seemed to peak in 1967: for example 13 January 1967, 24 January 1967, 16 June 1967 and 15 September 1967. 123 L.

Confirmation data used in the correlation were taken from Table 8.1(b), p. 191, and EDC data calculated (using intercensal population estimates for England) from figures in Currie et al., Churches and Churchgoers, p. 129. 132 Parsons, ‘How the times’, p. 183; McLeod, Religious Crisis, p. 182. 133 I am grateful for this insight to my doctoral student Sarah Browne at the University <strong>of</strong> Dundee, who is researching the Scottish women’s liberation movement. 134 S.
