Internet Congregation Survey

Form for Internet Congregation Participants
You answered that you are currently participating in an Internet Congregation. If this is not the case, then click here to return to the page where you can choose your participation. Please note the definition of an Internet congregation that is being used for this survey: An Internet congregation attempts to be the primary religious community for participants. A religious mailing list or chat room by this definition is not an Internet congregation unless the mailing list or chat room claims to provide a replacement for a traditional congregation.

Feel free to skip any of the questions that you are uncomfortable answering. If you would like to send more information about your experience by e-mail, please write to me, Ken Bedell.
