This is one of those times when I'm sorely tempted to explain my motives behind posting a survey, but doing so would almost certainly influence some of the responses. So I'm holding my tongue and hoping that you'll dive into the survey. It's a lot shorter than most of my surveys....
Eagerly awaiting your input!
(You can also help by spreading word about this survey. Here's the direct link: blog.canyoubelieve.me/p/survey.html.)

What does it look like to be a humble, receptive people, who welcomes the servants of God when they come to us with the Master’s message?
