We want to hear from you!
UCAN* invites anyone connected to the United Church of Christ (UCC) to share their views about HIV prevention, particularly for the UCC in various community settings. It is very important for us to learn from the experiences and perspectives around the church.
An online questionnaire is now available for you to share your responses to the following open-ended questions. They are provided here to give you a chance to reflect on them before you complete the questionnaire.
- What do you think makes HIV prevention an urgent concern for the United Church of Christ?
- What biblical stories or scripture passages under gird your understanding or theology of HIV prevention?
- What are the faith values that inform why you think the UCC and other people of faith should be concerned and involved?
- From your perspective, what has happened in the history of the UCC that supports the UCC's involvement--our traditions, events in our history, previous General Synod actions?
- Based on your understanding and experience, what do you think are the essential components or strategies of HIV prevention for UCAN to include in its program and encourage and why?
- What public policy on HIV prevention would you like to see the General Synod encourage?
- What could we do to better share accountability for HIV prevention across the life of the church, not only in the national setting, but in all settings of the church?
Questionnaire responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.
If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Rev. Mike Schuenemeyer at 216-736-3217 or by email at the email address specified below.
