WHY THE ASSEMBLY OF BISHOPS APP?

The Assembly of Bishops has been looking for a way to better communicate with, and hear from, the faithful. The Orthodox Christian world in the United States does not always have reliable empirical data on which to make informed decisions about programs, ministries, and what we can do to help parishes and parishioners. The research that does exist often contains imbalanced jurisdictional participation, as well as methodological problems limiting generalizability and reliability. Our Solution to this problem is the Assembly of Bishops mobile app.

 

THE SOLUTION

The Assembly of Bishops mobile app provides a completely anonymous way for Orthodox Christian clergy and laity to share opinions and concerns through regular and ongoing surveys. Our goal is to discover the primary needs of our parishes and faithful so we can improve our ministries and build better programs designed around proven needs.

FEATURES

COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS

User profiles are kept separate from survey responses making it impossible to tie answers back to individuals.

SHARE OPINIONS QUICKLY

A typical survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete.

STAY INFORMED

App notifications keep you informed of new surveys and valuable information.

TAKE SURVEYS ON YOUR SCHEDULE

Need to check on an answer prior to submitting? No problem. The app allows you to begin a survey and complete it later.

TESTIMONIALS

“Last year we successfully launched the Directory of Orthodox Christian Mental Health Professionals, and this year we are launching the Peace of Mind program. We learned that successful programing is born through informed decision making. I was moved by the participation and connectivity with the faithful as well as insights gained through their participation. I am looking forward to connecting with more individuals and learning what we can do to better shepherd our flock.”

– Metropolitan Gregory

“Often, we are not entirely sure what we should do to make things better in our parish. It is such an exciting step forward to have a way to effectively gather and access reliable data! This data will help us see our current situation clearly -- a foundational step as we seek to do a better job serving our faithful.”

– Dr. Ann Bezzerides

“The AoB Research App rivals major corporations in functionality and interface. It will surely help the Orthodox Church progress in this country.”

– Scott Mondore

"As veteran parish leader, I can tell you we sometimes feel isolated from the hierarchy. The AoB Research App provides an opportunity for our voices to be heard. If we all download the App and participate in the surveys, I believe the bishops will be able to better respond to our needs.”

– Dr. Gayle Woloschak
