Leading from the middle survey
If you are a Pastor, would you be willing to participate in a short online survey? Or please link to this post to encourage friends to participate. I would appreciate it very much.
Several recent pastoral surveys indicate a higher relational participation for younger pastors. "Buster" pastors, generally those under 40, report having better relationships within their own congregations than their "Boomer" counterparts. The hopes of this survey, combined with literary research and theological study, will be to provide a profile of the 21st century ministry leader who relates well within the congregation. Such understanding may also serve to improve relations among Boomer and Buster pastors in the coming generational transition as well as between pastors and their congregation.
By following the link to the survey you are indicating that you consent to participate in this study and that your responses may be put in anonymous form and kept for further use after the completion of this study. You may print a copy of this consent form for your own records.
