Abstract
Extended interviews were conducted in 2003 with eight people who had affiliation with two churches within a large village. The interviews were analysed to assess whether these individuals were contributing to the social capital of their own church-related community (bonding social capital), and whether they were contributing to the social capital of the wider community (bridging social capital). The data demonstrated a positive answer on both accounts.
