PK questionnaire
Below are the questions we asked PK's (Preacher's Kids) from around the world. Most of the responses were not from subscribers.
- How old are you?
- What is the denomination in which you grew up?
- Do you still count yourself as a part of that denomination?
- Which parent is ordained and what was your age when s/he was ordained?
- How often did you attend church as a child?
- If you are married, did you marry someone involved in the church?
- Was that a consideration when you looked for a spouse?
- Do you attend church, now?
- How often?
- If you don't attend now, do you believe that having children will change that (or did having children change your involvement in the church)?
- If you're not active in church now, what do you see as some of the reasons?
In regards to church attendance:
- What will you do (or do you do) differently with your children than your parents did with you?
- What did your parents do well?
- What do you wish your parents had done differently?
- What did parishioners, parishes, dioceses do well?
- What do you wish parishioners, parishes, dioceses had done differently?

32 year old, female, Presbyterian Church 1.-3. I am a 32 year old female. I grew up as a Presbyterian and still consider myself one.
4.-5. My father was ordained when I was 13. We attended church every Sunday, with choir practice, Bible Camp, and anything else crammed in-between.
12.-16. It is nice when a church family does not expect to see the minister's spouse and children in the pews every single Sunday. I think my Dad always felt the pressure that his family needed to be present.
I found it very interesting to think about these things.
