Diocese of Alabama Finally Posts Responses To 8-Question Diocesan Survey
Well, the Diocese of Alabama finally posted the results to their "diocesan survey" for the bishop search process -- with almost two more whole weeks to go until the deadline for nominations, too.
Incidentally, the survey included eight actual questions, and 6 "demographic" questions to discern the type of survey respondent. It's obvious by the survey design that it was *extremely important* to learn absolutely nothing about the theological or denominational concerns of the parishioners of the Diocese of Alabama.
Seriously -- this was a "survey" that took place so that the bishop search committee and diocesan standing committee could claim that they had "surveyed"the peasants, er populace, of the diocese. What a sham.
Dioceses take note -- this is exactly how not to do a diocesan survey. Poorly designed. And the "results" very poorly publicized.
