Dear Reader;

The staff and Board of the Anglican Journal have developed this national readership survey to help plan and prioritize services to our valued readers in the coming years. We are also working in partnership with diocesan newspapers across the country so that we can measure trends and respond to needs in the most comprehensive way possible.

Please be assured that your responses will be treated in absolute confidence and all results will be collected, tabulated and analyzed and used only for the purpose of improving how we communicate with you.

Your views and ideas are important to us and we have included a section at the end for you to add your own comments - please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings.
