- Notes
- "The Reverend Dr. W.E. Mann has drawn up these questions in order to facilitate the making of a sociological survey of a church and its community, especially churches in rural areas. The questions are the result, in part of an actual survey made byhim in Western Canada some time ago. From that experience he realized how little the ordinary minister or church official knows of certain aspects of the total community in which he labours. This is true of the clergyman in city or in country." "[W]e send [this copy of `News and Notes'] in order to help the parish priest or other minister to understand more about his parish or congregation, its needs and possibilities, if, indeed, he either requires or desires such further understanding" -- Foreword.
