Huntley U CofC In Survey
The United Church of Christ - Congregational in our town was one of eighty-six churches in elev- en metropolitan areas in the United States chosen for a sta¬ tistical survey by the Research Department of the United Church of Christ - Board of Homeland Ministries.
Tbe Huntley church was asked to provide an up-to-date mailing Ijts of its members and friends to the Research Department. From this list one name in four is be¬ ing sent a sampling questionaire on June 5. This questionaire on Church participation is being sent directly from Oak Park to these ciiosen persons and contains sev¬ eral dozen multiple choice ques¬ tions dealing with personal atti¬ tudes toward the church, its min¬ istry, and some current moral piToblems. TTiere are also some dealing with trf ' . 'i>ndents knowledge of the .^fiurch, the Bible, and Christian -theology.
Needless to say,'this question¬ aire is not be be signed or iden¬ tified any way to preserve the complete anonymity of the res- " ipondenl and'JS Co'fe mailed, Jn a postage paid envelope provided, directly back to New York.
The purpose of -tius survey is to help the Unit^fl Church of Christ improve its . '^rch School material.s, its cMifimiihion course books, its seminariea for the training of ministers, and to re¬ veal any unmet needs in the moral or spiritual well being of its con¬ stituents.
Rev. Lawrence Perkins, the lo¬ cal pastor, ;\f\d tho Board of Dea- cofLs and Deaconesses of the lo¬ cal Church join in urging all who are chosen fo receive these ques¬ tionaire.'; to [11 fill it out com¬ pletely and return it promptly to Oak Park; [2] fill it out them¬ selves,; and, 131 give completely honest responses to questions ask¬ ed and not what they believe the Church would want to hear. Perhaps in some small way Hunt¬ ley can here makes a big contri¬ bution to better churches and a more .tpirituallly alive America.
