The power of the church during the Regency was strong. Parishes were well-attended and maintained an influence in the local communities.
Yet, the Evangelical Movement sought to revive
Spirituality, in a world 'too often in want' of
material things. This movement encouraged the
personal reading of Scriptures, family prayers,
grace before eating, and regular Sunday worship
attendance.
This time also gave rise to heterodox
challenges, with the start of Mormonism (in
America) and
other sects.
