Looking Again at Confirmation - Responses to Questionnaire
(10:00 a.m. August 10, 2000)

Introduction:

This document is a compilation of the responses to the questionnaire Looking Again at Confirmation which asked people about their perspectives about the St. Mark's Confirmation Class. This compilation is a working document that was used by the task force, and is not intended to be a "perfect" document. That means you will find typographical errors or other transcribing errors. This material was transcribed from paper forms and cut/pasted from email and word processing files. It is the complete text of the material submitted, although a number of items were reformatted to provide a consistency in layout. The compiler was Bruce Calvin, and he accepts all responsibility for any errors made, pleading that you be merciful in your judgement.

Each individual response was assigned a Respondent Number, which is included at the end of each person's response. While all but 6 persons signed their response, the list of respondents names has been deleted. Some people did not respond directly to the questions, and their comments are included in their entirety at the end. Where the name of the author is included, it is with that person's permission.
