1. Thank you for taking the Mission Study Groups Survey
By taking this survey, (which should take less than 15 minutes), you will help the Episcopal Diocese of Maine begin to plan to become a new church in a changing world. After Diocesan Convention in October 2009, Bishop Steve Lane called together two study groups, the Mission Strategy Group and the Mission Priorities Group. The membership consists of Maine Episcopalians from across the state.
While the Groups each have a different charge, they are working together to gather information and perceptions from members of our 66 congregations, beginning with this survey and, early this spring, with congregational meetings.
We need to hear from you and as many members of your congregation as possible.
Print copies of this survey will be available at your church in mid-February for members of the Diocese of Maine who prefer to take the survey in printed form.
We ask that you and your congregation keep the work of the Study Groups in your prayers.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Tim Higgins, Chair
Mission Priorities Study Group
The Rev. Patricia Robertson, Chair
Mission Strategy Study Group
