Survey for PRAYER-GROUPS

This survey is sent to catholic prayer groups in the Nordic countries. In this way, we want to map out what needs there are and how the prayer groups are developing. We would be grateful if you take your time to answer the survey. Don't worry if you wonder whether your prayer group is "charismatic" or not. Charismatic gifts occur to a greater or lesser extent in most groups, we simply want to get a comprehensive picture of what reality looks like. Thank you for your participation.
