Are you a religious leader? Yes No

That depends on what your definition of religious leader is. Since I see that section 2 assumes "religious leader" is the person in charge of deciding service times, Ill go with No for now.


2. What time does your service start? If there is more than one service, please list the one that you attend: __:__ am or pm

For now I attend the Saturdays at 6:00pm service though sometimes I attend the morning services, depends on my current schedule.


3. What time do you need to get up in order to attend this service? __:__ am or pm

Any time

4. Are you currently completely satisfied with your service time? Yes No

Yes

7. Any further comments?

This survey was lame and seems pointless

Are you a religious leader? Yes and No I am not an Imam, but have every right to study and teach Qur'an. However, for the purposes of this survey, I shall skip section 1.

Section 2
8. What time does your service start? __:__ am or pm

There are 5 daily prayer times: Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (afternoon), Asr (pre-evening), Maghrib (pre-sunset), and Isha (night). Isha is generally the most widely attended since many people around here have day jobs.

9. Would you ever consider changing your service time? No

11. If no, why not?

Because they are the times given by Allah in Qur'an. It is not my place to change them.

12. If your parishioners asked you to change the time, would you? No

13. Why or why not?

See 11.

14. Any further comments?

Your questions seem very pointed to Christianity and its religious practices. I would think the world of psychology would be better prepared for other ways.

3. What time do you need to get up in order to attend this service?

4. Are you currently completely satisfied with your service time?

Yes, I think 11:00 is a good time to hold a religious service. Late morning is always a good idea. It also leaves the rest of your day free.

7. Any further comments?

My church is starting a 7:00 PM service that I might try attending for a while. See how it goes.

Are you a religious leader? Yes (on the Diaconate)
Section 2
8. What time does your service start?

We have two, 9:00am and 11:00am with School inbetween...

9. Would you ever consider changing your service time?

We aready have, the shift to two services was recent...

10. If yes, what would cause you to change the time?

The primary reason was growth of membership and attendance..

11. If no, why not?

N/A

12. If your parishioners asked you to change the time, would you?

Yes, I'm presbyterian.... In the end, it is the congregation as a whole, by vote, who approve changes such as that...

13. Why or why not?

It's a point to representative church government as found in Presbyterian and Reformed churches... Leadership is elected, and most major decisions are handed by the body itself, with recommendation from the Session (body of Teaching and Rulling Elders, elected by the Congregation; whose purpose is to handle the spiritual wellbeing of the congregation...) and Diaconate (body of Deacons, whose purpose is the physical wellbeing of the congregation, and decisions regarding grounds upkeep...)

14. Any further comments?

None
