1. Your Personal Views and Beliefs

 
In this section of the assessment, we are interested in your views and beliefs in a variety of areas. You will find statements about how you see things in your church community and statements about your spiritual beliefs. Some items deal with the work of your Rector and other items seek your views about education.

In each case, YOUR impressions, feelings, and opinions are important for church planning. In some cases, you may feel that your opinions are not well informed. Please go ahead and give your impression as it is now, even though you realize it could change by talking with others. Use the “Don’t Know” response only in those rare cases where you have no impression at all.
