Bulletin inserts cover recent survey results, strategic planning

January 04, 2010 [Episcopal News Service] The first editions of the new Episcopal News Service Weekly bulletin inserts will deal with recent efforts by Episcopal Church leadership to plan for the future through surveys and careful analysis of information.

Inserts for Jan. 10 cover the results of a strategic planning survey taken last summer, which indicated that youth and young adults, evangelism and elements of congregational life are top on Episcopalian’s suggestions for the future. A selection of comments gleaned from the survey is also included.

For Jan. 17, inserts will give some details of a report by the House of Deputies State of the Church Committee, a group that has existed since 1808 and works continually to guide the ministry of the Episcopal Church for coming years.
