Sisällön kuvaus

The survey studied expectations on and experiences of Evangelical Lutheran worship services in Finland. The survey formed part of a worship service development project conducted by the Office of the Church Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Expectations on worship services and Mass were studied with a number of statements. The respondents were asked to what extent they agreed with statements relating to Bible-reading during the service, sermons, intercessory prayer, the Holy Communion, hymns, music, liturgy, minister, atmosphere at the service, relevance for certain groups etc. For example, "The sermon should focus on God's grace" or "Well-known hymns create a good atmosphere".

Next, the respondents were asked how well their expectations had been fulfilled in the particular service they had attended, how the service had in fact been conducted. The issues taken up were the same as mentioned in the statements above. For example, "The sermon focused on God's grace" or "The hymns in the service were known to me". One set of questions explored which factors might influence the respondents' willingness to attend worship services.

Background variables included the respondent's year of birth, economic activity, education, frequency of worship service attendance and membership in a parish.

Otantamenetelmä

Non-probability: Availability

The data were collected in connection with five worship services (including a Holy Communion), held in four different parishes. The parishes in question were Malmi and Kannelniemi parishes in Helsinki, and Heinävesi and Forssa parishes. For the Malmi parish, there was a service held both in Malmi and in Pihlajamäki. The services were held on the Feast of Christ the King day or on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Sunday of Advent. The attendees were informed of the survey either before or during the service, except for one service. People attending the service were given the opportunity to complete the questionnaire either at the church or later at home in which case they were given an envelope for returning it.

Altogether, 562 persons attended the five worship services and 230 persons returned a completed questionnaire.
