Social Action Survey Report
At the start of 2024, the world faces many challenges, including climate change, economic injustice, racism, anti-LGBTQIA+ prejudice, and so many more. Unitarians and Free Christians, alongside many other people of all faiths and none, feel themselves called to take action to try to address these challenges facing human society.
As a small movement with around 2,500 registered members1, we face the question of how to ensure the resources that we have available are used in the most effective way to address the issues that matter. To this end, a small team of Unitarian professionals carried out research to explore these issues in detail and to present the findings to the 2024 General Assembly.
This research was done via two online surveys, one for individuals and one for congregations, followed by a series of focus groups. The focus groups helped the team dig deeper into the questions and gather anecdotal information for each of the questions.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in this research for taking the time to give their
views and take part in discussions.
