Sisällön kuvaus

The church employee survey studied the views of people working in the parishes of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. Staff views were charted on worship service reform, confirmation training reform, parish activities, ordination of women, other religions and homosexuality.

First, the respondents were asked to rate the importance of a number of activities conducted by the parishes. The activities mentioned included graveyard maintenance, help phone, missionary work, confirmation classes, parish magazines etc. Some questions focused on the worship service reform, its goals and feedback from parishioners. Views were also probed on the successfulness of the confirmation training reform.

Personal opinions on the ordination of women were charted, as well as views on church blessing on same-sex couples and whether church ministers or youth, office or maintenance workers of the church could live together with a same-sex partner. One set of questions explored how positive or negative views the respondents had of other churches (e.g. Orthodox Church, Catholic Church, Evangelical Free Church) or of other religions/religious communities (e.g. Islam, Jehovah's Witnesses, scientology, Buddhism, Mormons).

Background variables included the respondent's gender, year of birth (categorised), number of persons in the parish, diocese, job title, length of service in the church, type of municipality (urban or rural), and political party R had voted for in the 2003 parliamentary elections.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

No detailed information on the sampling procedure available.

To prevent identification of respondents, the job title 'lector' was combined into the same category with 'other clergy' in variable q20. (In the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, a lector is a theologian who is employed by the church but has not been ordained. These days, the job title of lector is rare within the church as it was first created for female theologians who could not be ordained as a pastor before 1986.) Additionally, the respondent's year of birth (q17) was categorised into five-year age groups.

Responses to the open-ended questions 3 and 9, open-ended questions at the end of the questionnaire, and open-ended answer alternative of question 20 are missing from the data. The data do not include the cases where the questionnaire was left empty, was incomplete, or a dublicate (identical with another case).
