For many years, eastern churches have seen their people spread from one
continent to another. The churches in these lands have faced problems in
keeping their members involved and active in their parish communities. The
youth have become assimilated into the larger society by cultural
acclimatization, marriage, inter cultural marriage, and lack of motivation.
If we succeed with getting an understanding of their thinking, we can help
with a new vision for our churches and the youth, strengthening our parishes
and our ability to become activists in the adopted lands of our parents and
our new homelands.
The International Maronite Foundation is sponsoring a survey on its website,
www.maronet.org to help identify some critical issues for both the Maronite
Church, in and out of Lebanon, as well as other Eastern churches. We ask
your help in encouraging as many people as possible to respond to the
survey. Please go to the website and log on by clicking on the Survey logo
on the left of the screen. While your there, please fill out the Maronite
Registration at the same time.
This survey is an attempt at identifying some of the root causes of the loss
of youth and other age groups from the organized churches of their heritage.
We would appreciate you taking the time to answer all of the questions of
the survey.
