Advent is a Time of Waiting. But Why Are You Waiting to Complete the Online Survey?
If you haven't already, please set aside approximately 25 minutes in the coming week to complete
the Landscape survey, available here, that collects information for our diocesan profile.
Sharing your personal impressions and experiences is critical to our diocese as we plan to call our fifth diocesan bishop. Please make this a priority this week. Each adult (16+) member of your household is asked to complete the survey for her/himself, even if there is only one email address for all members of your family. Individual responses to the survey are key to our gaining insight in the overall perceptions and experiences. Also, if you do not have access to the Internet or for some other reason wish to have a paper copy of the survey, please contact your clergy person or lay leadership. Confidentiality is important, so you will not be asked to put your name on the survey. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Nominating Committee at epost@edsd.org.
The deadline to submit the survey is Friday, December 22.
