The CAT Scan is here!

Thank you to the over 200 members who participated in the Congregational Assessment Tool this past spring.  The Congregational Assessment Tool, or CAT, is a congregation-wide survey to take the temperature of the congregation, highlight where we hope to go and where our opportunities lie.

The results are attached in this blog.  Scott Crispell, a former bishop’s warden of the cathedral and a diocesan CAT interpreter, presented the results to the congregation at the forum last week.  You can find the video of that presentation here:

Several reports are available to you now:

1) An executive summary of the findings (one page) which gives a high-level overview of the results.
2) The full results of the core survey (many pages).
3) Supplemental Questions – a few pages containing answers to questions that we worded specifically for our congregation.

The results of the survey were very strong: we have an energized and vital congregation with strengths related to inclusion and advocacy.

Please review these findings and bring your questions, comments, hopes and concerns to the forum this Sunday as the Dean leads us in a town hall conversation to discuss the results.  We will journey into conversation together to discuss things like: why did we answer the way we answered?  What is behind the data?  Where is the opportunity for us to do something with what the data tells us?

Join us Sunday at 9:00 in the Great Hall.  This forum will also be recorded and available on the web site.
