People's religiosity occupies a central place in the sociology of religion. This study employs indepth life histories to describe the subjective lives and religiosity of fifty Czech-American elderly in Iowa. The life history method effectively taps the religiosity of these elderly through their expressed concerns in life. Results indicate ecumenism and humanism among these elderly. This meaning system coincides with their liberal religious heritage. Thus, the cultural and religious family heritage of Czech-American elderly helps to mold their present world view. Findings also suggest that rural Czech-American elderly, who are either exclusively mainline church-goers or freethinkers, find ultimate meaning through ecumenism and humanism rather than through sectarianism.
