Any clergymembers available for a few questions?

[Jaison]

Hello,

In a class this semester I’ve been asked to do a research assignment that profiles clergy-members. My job is to create a general profile of my survey participants. Can anyone spare a couple minutes to answer my survey?
This is a VERY basic survey to research your lifestyle, motivations and everyday interactions. At your convenience, I’d be truly grateful if you could take a few minutes and complete a brief survey that’ll be used to anonymously compare and contrast the lives you lead in society.

Jaison, I imagine that any priests are occupied with weekend Masses and in any case aren’t necessarily available often on this forum to give responses. It is less a site for clergy than for us ordinary folks. I doubt that priests would feel the need to spend much time here. They’re busy dealing with others’ lives and needs out there. It is probable that none have seen your post.

Aside from this, there is some sense of personal intrusion and insipient pressure involved in being asked to respond to surveys, and there are many who feel uncomfortable regarding them. I do hope you do receive responses. I would imagine that if your survey is probing that clergy whom you know may feel uncomfortable responding, especailly if they have little private life available to them. I wish you well, though, in finding responses, and hope that if unsuccessful, you are able to find an agreed alternate subject.

God bless you, Trishie
