Abstract
Data collected from members of a small-town Mormon church have been used to test hypotheses dealing with possible functions of the church in modern society. This testing suggested that overt conformity to church teaching is influenced cumulatively by church participation and religious belief, and independently by church participation. It is spectulated that this independent function of church participation is determined by the mutual dependence between such participation and attachment to the social system, and operates independent of the known mutual dependence between belief and ritual.
