The Role of Black Churches in Health Promotion Programs

Greetings!


Fellow Kinetics Faith & Justice Network member, Dr. Eric McDaniel, is researching the degree to which churches actively discuss various health issues ranging from heart disease to domestic violence. The survey will ask questions in regards to the actual activities of the church, such as programs or message sent to the congregation or community. It will also examine pastor's attitudes towards these issues and their perception of member attitudes.



We are looking for 800 pastors who would be willing to participate. The survey will be made available via the internet this coming Fall.

If your church is interested in participating in this survey please email me at info@kineticnet.org . Please include name of church, pastor, and your contact information.


Please support this valuable research and our brother.

In love & service,

Jamye Wooten, Kinetics
