Poll Results And Reflections
Now Counting Belief On The Other Side Of The Pond
Two recent polls by YouGov are an interesting snapshot of the way Britains view the upcoming feast of the Nativity. According to one poll, 67% of those asked will not be attending Church during the Christmas season. Only 11% are planning to attend a Christmas Eve service, with 5% planning to go on Christmas day.

Latest Poll – What is "catholic"?
19 readers participated in this month’s poll. I was surprised by some of the results. For example, an overwhelming number of participants understand “catholic” as meaning “universal”. I expected that in our OC/IC context more people would have viewed it in terms of a particular church. The, sacramental, Roman, and “orthoxy” options are interesting because [...]
Playing With the Numbers, Getting the Message Out

May Poll – Results & Reflection
22 of you participated in this last poll asking about inclusive language (Indie communities ought to use “inclusive language” both in worship and in Scriptures); here is the breakdown of how you voted: Yes – absolutely = 6 (27%)Yeah – OK = 3 (14%)No – definitely not = 3 (14%)I would prefer that we did [...]
May Poll – Time’s Almost Up!
Just a quick note if you have not already “voted” in this month’s poll (above) the booth closes in a few days on 31 May. Shortly thereafter I’ll have a reflection on the results, and a new question. Tweet
Results of First Bože! Poll
The results of this, our first poll, are in. Let me first point out that I’m not a statistician, not only that, I’m so mathematically challenged it is not funny. This by way of a caveat that says the following interpretation, while interesting, may not be the best interpretation. Here are the numbers: Poll question: [...]
