Orthodox Parish Hospitality Survey

Here is a meme for all the Orthodox converts and inquirers who may or may not read this blog. The following are questions that were asked via an email survey in our parish to help improve our hospitality. In writing them, I thought my answers might be helpful to other parishes, as well. Then I realized that a wide variety of answers would be more helpful.
Here are the rules:
- You may answer the survey questions in the comments or on your own blog.
- If you answer the questions on your own blog, please note where you found this survey and direct others back to the original article (URI: http://blog.kevinbasil.com/2005/09/10/orthodox-parish-hospitality-survey/ ).
- If you post the questions on your blog, please trackback the original article or comment on it so that others can visit your article and be illumined by your answers.
- If you blog this survey, please direct others who may themselves blog to comment or trackback the original article as well.
- Please include these rules with the survey, so others can do the same.
Comments and trackbacks on the original article allow a central repository of sorts. Memes are meant to spread, but priests, council members and ministers of hospitality shouldn’t have to search the internet to find the answers.
(However, if you think I’m being a link-hound, then by all means post the survey and your answers. Better to get the information out to someone than not at all.)
