Update on Membership Survey

Amazing!

Thank you, thank you to all who took the time to share your thoughts, opinions, hopes and dreams about Integrity through our recent membership survey. 26% of our members and friends responded to the survey – a remarkable response when you consider that a 10% return rate is considered viable and useful in polls of these kinds.

It is clear that many of you care deeply about Integrity and its mission: Working for the full inclusion of all the baptized in all the sacraments. Having the benefit of your feedback will help the Board of Directors and staff immensely as they seek to stragetically discern the future goals of Integrity and how best to organize us all for mission in Christ’s name.

Once the data has been collated and topline findings recorded, some of you (if you said "it’s OK") will be contacted for deeper follow-up interviews. Then we will receive a final report from Che Ruddell-Tabisola, the pollster-consultant who is working with us on this process. We will share highlights of that report with our membership soon after General Convention (which is our primary focus between now and mid-July).

Don’t let this survey be the last time we hear from you! Please give your Board, staff and volunteer leaders routine feedback on what you think Integrity USA should be doing and how you can help us accomplish our common goals.

And again, THANKS for participating in the recent survey!

Blog Faerie Commandments

Thou shalt be a current Integrity member; for as the
Psalmist says, “No good thing will YHWH withhold from those who walk with integrity.”
Thou shalt post legitimate news and public opinion
from recognized sources; for few blogs are fonts of true wisdom.
Thou shalt not post gossip; for it is serious sin that nobody preaches about anymore.
Thou shalt not include thine own opinions in posts; but thou mayest post thine own opinions using the comments feature.
Thou shalt not post hate speech nor engage in personal attacks against thy neighbor—neither in posts nor in comments. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Though shalt post items that emphasize the LGBT-positive side of issues whenever possible; for there are more than enough blogs devoted to denegrating us.
Though shalt mostly post items dealing with LGBT
equality in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion; but thou mayest post some LGBT secular news and LGBT news from other faith traditions.
Thou shalt not post copyrighted material in its
entirety; for it is abhorrent to the United States government. Rather, thou shalt post an excerpt or summary with a link to the original source.
Thou shalt cite the original source (author,
title, affiliation, publisher, date) of a post whenever possible; thus may readers direct their rants and raves in the right direction.
Thou shalt be wise with the quantity of material thou posteth to the blog; for the reader unsubscription rate is inversely proportional to the number of daily posts.
Thou shalt replace shaped quotation marks and
apostrophies (“ ” ’) with straight equivalents (" " ') whenever possible; for shaped characters are not supported by all e-mail servers.
Though mayest embed YouTube and Google video clips in a post but thou shalt also provide a hyperlink to the clip; for the clip itself may be stripped out of the e-mail version.
Thou shalt include graphics with thine posts when possible; for plain text is really boring.
