The UUFSD Ministerial Search Committee conducted a survey of the Fellowship. This survey was intended to gather the objective attitudes, opinions, behaviors, preferences, and demographics of members and pledging friends of the Fellowship.

The survey was conducted online and on paper during March and April of 2007.

To elicit the most candid comments, the committee decided to conduct the survey entirely anonymously. Although members didn’t express concerns about confidentiality, nor was the survey designed to dig deeply into controversial areas, the committee felt that keeping it anonymous would encourage full cooperation.

More than two-thirds of the Fellowship members participated in this process by either completing a survey of attending a Focus Group.

The Ministerial Search Committee also conducted many Focus Groups in order to more deeply probe issues. More information about the Focus Group process can be found on the Focus Group page of this website.
