Congregational Survey on Anti-Oppression Work

In January 2008 the Grace Team distributed a brief survey to each congregation or fellowship in the Prairie Star District. The purpose of the survey was to compile an overview of the anti-oppression work being done in the District and to learn how the GRACE team could be of assistance.

Eighteen congregations/fellowhips (highlighted) responded to the survey.

The Survey consisted of asked demographic information about the church (size, location, attendance)and the following four questions:

• What anti-racism/anti oppression projects has your congregation done or participated in within the last two years? The last five years?
• What anti-racism/anti oppression projects in your congregation are currently ongoing?
• If your congregation is not engaged in anti-racism/anti oppression work now, what are the barriers to that work for the congregation?
• What would your congregation need to get started on a program of anti-racist/anti-oppression work? [leadership, educational materials, inspirational preaching, etc.]
