| Summary: | In order to shed light on the role of modern Anglican cathedrals in England, this article refines Grace Davie's concept of vicarious religion. Building on Peter Rowe's thesis that cathedrals are well placed to perform the prior work' of Ann Morisy's foundational domain of mission, the article constructs a model which predicts that cathedrals, widely known as the shop windows of the Church of England', are one dimension of the mechanism by which the passive majority becomes acquainted with and approves of the vicarious religion performed by the active minority. The model may facilitate empirical research around vicarious religion, which has presented methodological challenges, and may have resonance not only for cathedrals but also for the cathedral-like Greater Churches'. |
