People are likely to continue their patterns of activity and interests into old age. Hence, the current cohort of older persons is more likely to attend church and participate in religious activities more often than other age cohorts. However, recent research has shown that older adults perceive the church to be more oriented toward younger families and are thus more apt to disengage from church in later years (Ebersole & Hess, 1995).
