You are being asked for 15 to 20 minutes of your time to complete a survey.
Completing it will enable you to give your perspective, share what you believe about some significant issues, and relate your experiences of church life since the pandemic.
The Church-24 survey has three main objectives:
- To listen to churchgoers on a range of long-standing issues and questions, particularly as they are being brought to light in the synodal process.
- To explore some new issues that face us now, or soon will, but which were not talked about so much a decade ago, such as climate change, artificial intelligence, assisted dying or safeguarding procedures.
- The Covid pandemic is over… or is it? What’s happened to you and your faith community since lockdowns ended?
To take part, follow this link.
Further details on the Church-24 survey can be found here in the document Church24Survey and at https://www.yorksj.ac.uk/the-church-24-survey/.
The Church 24 survey is being organised by Professor Andrew Village at York St John University in partnership with our visiting Professor Leslie Francis and people from a wide range of churches in the UK, Republic of Ireland, and the USA.
The survey is building on research from surveys done in 2001 and 2013, and on the 2 surveys we did during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Thank you for your time and help with this project.
