I voted and noticed a few have voted so far.

Hoping more of you will cast your vote.

Isn't a third option missing? "Not sure"

I only copied the questions here from the one done by 3ABN.

Looking for more votes.

From the voting so far, this may need to be moved to a more public area.

Perhaps a less rigid poll, fewer questions.

But here are more relevant questions, in light of changing church practices:

1) - If Woman's Ordination (women in spiritual leadership positions such as church pastors) is given the green light, will you still support the church?

2) - Will you still support the church no matter what changes are implemented, such as ordaining homosexuals to ministry, or worshiping on Saturday & Sunday, or merging with another denomination?

Why ask church members to opine
upon changes already in effect, unstoppable.

Thought I should say that all the votes are private in that we don't have any idea who has voted.

Just moved it here to see if this will result in more voting.

After more have voted, the results so far are most interesting, therefore, I hope more of you reading this, if you haven;t yet voted, will cast your vote.
