Fore those of you that recieved a paper version of the recent Pastoral Relations survey (many of you, WonderCafe folk, would have done this online)

PLEASE NOTE: Survey deadline has been extended to March 11 (Friday). 

The survey was sent our on Feb. 11, but in many cases hasn't arrived at the intended destinations until (in one notable case) Today!  ACK!

We Want Your Input: Please do complete the survey and send it it. It isn't late!

No, there isn't really an app for that; there IS a solution however!

If you have any difficulties the survey with the link you have been sent, or having any technical problems with the survey that the United Church is currently conducting on "Leadership and Healthy Relastionships", please contact:

Nicholas Borodenko at Prairie Research Associates: borodenko@pra.ca  or, by phone at 204-987-2030.

 Someone - oh I wish I remembered who - posted within a thread here about the Explorefaith.org website.  I've spent a little bit of time there and I really like it, AND I found this very interesting survey about your personal Spiritual Profile.  

Which one are you?  Does it fit how you see yourself?  Is it helpful?

Just had this recommended to me on the New York Times website lol

I'd like to hubristically say Canada would do better...but due to several factors I'll refrain.

It is with a profound sense of sadness that Shepell.fgi shares with us the news of the passing of Gerry Smith, Vice President of Organizational Health.  As many of you know Gerry had been battling cancer over the past many months.

As I  look at the percentages in the results of the Observer Survey, I can't seem to relate this to the churches, congregants and ministers that I know. What is your impression of the results ?
