The Church of England website wants feedback from users.
See the press release What are you surfing for?
The Church of England is increasingly using a range of new media in order to enhance its web presence. So, the webmasters of the national Church of England web-site, recognising the need to engage directly with visitors to the site, have launched an on-line survey to gather visitors’ views.

Can I ask what this has to do with the CofE’s website survey? I’d support Simon’s encouragement to fill out the survey – that website could be considerably better than it is.
Dear Billy D I stand corrected! I suspect my use of the term ‘orthodox mindset’ has precipitated your response.

The term secularism has, also in my experience, been well over used as convenient justification to deter others from accepting this legistative change. I truly apologise for offence caused my my loose terminology. I just… Read more »
