Hi. I have an assignment for a graduate research methods class in which I have to design a survey and distribute it.

I would be so grateful if you would take a few minutes to answer questions about what influenced you to become a Christian and your choice of church.

Just click on the above link to go to the survey.

It’s completely anonymous.

Thanks so much,

Janice

I have taken it, the last question mechanism is faulty, you can't answer the same 'level' for more than one question. Also it would have been helpful to offer an 'other' option for some questions. For example I did not answer the one about what is most important about my congregation because you hadnt listed it.

I took it. Interesting survey. It made me think a little bit about myself and my journey as a Christian thus far.

Your survey makes a lot of prior assumptions. I found I didn't know how to answer a lot of the questions because I didn't fit the assumptions so the questions were irrelevant to me.

For example, I don't believe I was ever "converted". I grew up in a Christian family, and as I grew to be an adult, I simply adopted my parents' beliefs as my own. I do not believe there was any point in my life where I was not part of God's family. So a lot of your questions don't make sense to me.

Perhaps you should say that your survey is targeted at people who have a conversion experience to talk about? Then I wouldn't have bothered taking it

Also, I find it awkward to rate my spiritual maturity skills. We just don't talk about things that way in my church, so the question seemed really odd to me. How can someone have moderate/advanced skills in prayer? How did you choose the short list of skills that you asked about?


Anyway, I suspect it's all just a matter of speaking a different dialect of "Christianese". Every denomination uses their own jargon to describe spiritual experience, and our vocabularies just don't match up.

Good luck on your study!
