Abstrakt: Changes in perceptions as conceptualized by Toch were utilized to study convert non- participation in organizational activities in the Mormon Church. The study's non participants tended to (1) no longer perceive the doctrine, worship services, and organizational structure of the Church as attractive as formerly, (2) have difficulty adhering to the Church's financial and dietary demands, (3) possess dissimilar beliefs about central doctrinal tenets, and (4) have experienced economic problems since joining.
