I think that the idea behind the poll is interesting and I don't think it will yield much that is informative because of the poll only allowing ONE choice.
For instance, if I voted 3 times the results might yield a more accurate rendering of my own particular response.
I would like to be able to indicate that the social connection is related to the spiritual connection I feel at CLG.
I see the social issues, my degree of social comfort and acceptance within the Grove, as strongly related to my desire to pursue spiritual connections in the company of my fellow Grove members. So, while I don't attend high Rites primarily to socialize. I would go elsewhere to develop and practice my faith if I did not feel that CLG was a place that is Safe, Respectful of Diversity, and a place to see old freinds and make new ones. To deny the social connections is therefore to misrepresent myself.
I come to the Grove for Spiritual Community.
