A Demographic Analysis of the Tithing Behaviour of 2562 Seventh-day Adventists in Northern New South Wales, Australia

Abstract

An analysis of tithe receipted in Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Northern New South Wales compared to census data reveals that there is a decided difference between the tithing behaviour of the under-fifty-year olds and those over fifty. It is suggested that this explains why there has been an approximately 40% drop in NNSW tithe compared to incomes over the last 25 years.
