Investigating and reporting on the mission and experiences of ethnic minority Christian leaders in contemporary Scotland.
Brendan Research, with funding from ACTS, are excited to announce that our research exploring the scope, nature and experiences of ethnic minority and new migrant congregations in contemporary Scotland is now underway!
We are combining skills in mapping, quantitatiave and qualitative analysis to investigate and report on the mission and experiences of ethnic minority Christian leaders in Scotland, including:
• The number of ethnic minority congregations in Scotland and map their distribution across the country
• Understand their mission and explore their experiences of ministering in Scotland
• Determine any challenges they face in society and in their Christian ministry
• Explore opportunities for building ecumenical partnerships, dialogue and cross-cultural learning
Are you a church leader in Scotland? Do you lead a congregation with a significant ethnic minority membership?
We would like to hear and share your story! Complete our 15-20 minute survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/EMCScotland
If you would like to view the questions first, a PDF can be found here.
We will also be considering the experiences of ethnic minority worshippers in ACTS denominations.
