Research Methods of the GAP
Stratified sampling (by continent and country) was used to determine which MWC
churches (with 1,000 or more members) would participate in the GAP. Twentyfour church bodies were selected representing five continents. Research Associates
were named by their churches to conduct the survey in their contexts. The
Research Associates met at Goshen College in August, 2013 to determine the
research approach of the GAP. In this meeting, decisions were made about
sampling, questionnaire design, and interview design. The questionnaire was
eventually translated from English into 24 languages and dialects, and then backtranslated into English for comparison with the original questionnaire.
Research Methods of the GAP
Research Associates submitted a comprehensive list of congregations and members
from their church. Congregations were randomly selected for participation in the
Profile. All members of selected congregations were invited to complete the
questionnaire in the context of a congregational gathering. Questionnaires were
distributed by Research Associates or others they trained.
Research Methods of the GAP
The Profile utilized a “paper and pencil” questionnaire seven pages in length and
included questions on themes such as: church participation, religious identity,
spiritual biography and history, beliefs about Jesus, witness and evangelism, peace
and social justice, and more. Research Associates entered data from questionnaires
into a formatted Excel data base and emailed their results. Data were cleaned and
analyzed using SPSS.
The results of the GAP that follow are organized according to the seven shared
convictions of Mennonite World Conference. The shared convictions have
overlapping themes and concepts and some questions could have been placed
within more than one of the shared convictions.
