Clocking ticking on Church youth questionnaire

Clocking ticking on Church youth questionnaire

Time is running out for young people to have their say ahead of next year’s Synod of Bishops in Rome.

The October 2018 Synod of Bishops, following on recent synods on the family and on the New Evangelisation, is on the theme of ‘Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment’, and in connection with this youth.synod2018.va is hosting a questionnaire in five languages.

The anonymous questionnaire, directed to 16- to 29-year-olds, is intended to encourage the involvement of young people around the world in the assembly and help the Church better understand the lives, attitudes and concerns of young people.

Attitudes

Answers to the questionnaire, which consists of 53 questions on such issues as personal information, attitudes about oneself and the world, influences and relationships, life choices and religion will help provide the basis for the synod’s working document.

The questionnaire will remain active until November 30.
