Dear Colleagues - As we speak with government officials and policymakers, public health experts, community leaders and the media, it is helpful to have accurate information about how Wisconsin churches and clergy are affected by COVID-19. We rely upon communication from YOU to inform critical discussions. Sometimes, the best we have available to us is what is called "anecdata" - an extrapolation of actual conditions on the ground based upon anecdotes and impressions. We are hoping to gain a broader awareness and understanding of the ministry situation in Wisconsin in Spring 2021. Your full and honest answers will help us be in a better position to provide support and advocate for the resources you need for ministry in the COVID era.

We appreciate you taking a few moments to help us assess the impact of the pandemic on clergy and churches.

Please ONLY respond to this survey if you:
(A) Are a clergymember*
(B) Serve in Wisconsin
(C) Actively serve in parish ministry or another setting in which you are responsible for gathering the faith community in a physical place

*One exception: if your faith community is entirely lay-led, and you are the designated layperson to respond to documents such as this, you are welcome to complete this survey on behalf of the community.

As we share the results of this survey, all personally identifying details will be redacted, unless you give us permission to share full information.
