    3. Page 3 More Information About The Survey Report This survey report provides the graphics, not the commentary from the surveys. Evangelists who want further data from the survey report can contact the Office of the Presiding Evangelist. Where information is missing in a graphic, in a preceding slide information is provided to complete the missing information. We acknowledge that some questions and instructions in the survey were awkward and difficult to answer. Thus the graphics for those questions are difficult to interpret (E.g. page 7 of this report). We do not need any critique of the questions. The purposes of this report is to give evangelists the basic information from the survey and to invite evangelists to share suggested topics, areas, and questions for future surveys.
