Download: Results of the Diocesan Survey

Thank you to those many members of the Diocese of Georgia who participated in the September 21-30 Diocesan Survey. The Search Committee has received your responses, which were tabulated and organized by the same independent group that administered the survey. Those responses are available for download by clicking on the link above.

With these responses in hand, the Committee now turns its attention to developing a Diocesan Profile to convey the needs and character of our Diocese and the hopes we share for our next bishop. We expect that profile to be complete by mid to late November.

2. Call toll free 1-866-373-7783 and complete your survey by telephone. An interviewer from the A.L. Burruss Institute at Kennesaw State University telephone survey lab will be available to answer your call Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. You may also leave a message to request an appointment for an alternate time at this number. Please indicate that you are calling to participate in the Episcopal Church survey.
3. Ask your Rector for a paper copy of the survey. Answer the questions and return the survey to your Rector who will submit your responses.

Don’t miss this opportunity for your voice to be heard. Your input will be very important to creating a Diocesan profile, introducing ourselves and our hopes for the next decade to the larger church and to prospective nominees.

As we search for our new Bishop of Georgia, it is important that we know the values, preferences and suggestions of each of the members of our Diocese.

To that end, a Diocesan Survey will be made available to all members of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia September 21-28, 2008. This survey will be based upon the information gathered at the August Town Hall Meetings and will be one of the primary opportunities you will have to make your hopes and beliefs known.

The survey will be available September 21-28 at www.georgiabishopsearch.org and through a toll free telephone number to be published as we approach the survey timeframe. Parishes wishing to utilize paper surveys may do so; contact the Very Rev. Robert Fain for instruction on paper surveys.

As the information gathered in this survey will be used to develop our Diocesan Profile, we hope for a high level of participation, which will-in turn-ensure the most accurate Diocesan Profile possible.
