Texas Council Endorses Diocesan Surveys
Episcopal News Service. February 24, 1994 [94031B]
In what may be the first such effort, delegates to the annual diocesan council of the Diocese of Texas voted unanimously for a new plan of annual surveys to formulate diocesan goals and programs. "We are putting together a questionnaire to create new and exciting ways for the church to step into the 21st century," said the Rev. Stephen Bancroft, rector of Trinity Church in Houston. According to Bancroft, the survey will allow Episcopalians to designate the goals and programs they support, allowing diocesan officials to focus resources on those goals.
