Half or fewer members and elders, however, feel that these and other features would describe their most recent worship experience to a great extent , as Figure 3 shows. Three in four worship committees meet at least monthly. On average, seven people attended the last meeting. New samples are drawn every three years. This survey was initially mailed in May 2000, and returns were accepted through September 2000.
Results are subject to sampling and other errors.
Small differences should be interpreted cautiously. Included is a data appendix that presents the percentage responses to each survey question separately for members, elders, pastors, and specialized clergy.
