Abstract: This exploratory study was conducted to gain insight into the motivations for participation in adult religious education.

One informant was selected from each decade between 20 and 70. Topics covered in the interviews were as follows: (1) Background in Participation in Religious Education; (2) Areas of Participation; (3) Reasons for Participation; (4) Relationship of Religious Education to Life; (5) Participation in Other Educational Activities.
