To somewhat answer your question, I only “picked” 8 people to participate in my survey, I emailed them. I chose bigname bloggers, ones who a lot of Christian webloggers link to and/or read. Of those original 8, I think chose 3 took the survey last I checked. Everyone else who participated in the survey did so after seeing my original post about it or a link-to off of someone else’s site (like yours ).

I suppose the questions show an evangelical slant because I’m evangelical. And I suppose probably in the end my study will reveal an evangelical slant.

However, the only requirements to taking the survey required the taker to a) identify themselves as “Christian”, and b) be a weblogger.

To date, 104 complete surveys have been completed (both parts = a complete survey)… and respondents have ranged from Baptists to Catholics to Methodists to Quakers and one respondent described themselves as being “Considered a heretical Christian by most.”

I’m still taking surveys if anyone else wants to fill one out. You can do so here.

Hi Bene,

Actually just on my roll alone there are about 50 Orthodox blogs. I know there are more out there than that. But you are right–we’re not as big as St. Blogs….yet!

We are a pretty diverse group; whether that be politics, gender, ethnicity, location, or jurisdiction.

While I haven’t had time to put up a recent cache at blogs4God, I’ve been pleased with the range of topics the Ortho-bloggers cover, the amount of time they put into blogging, and the great and civil discussions they generate.

P.S. You misspelled my last name! (No harm, no foul! Blog on!)
