Interview Questions:

America’s Quilt of Faith is investigating the capacity of America’s places faith to persuade their believers (and others) to practice virtues necessary for America to govern itself.

1.       Why did you come to this place of faith and why have you stayed?

2.       How do you worship together?

3.       How do you practice your faith at home?

4.       If you have a “holy” day each week, how are you supposed to behave on that day compared to others?

5.       Explain your concept of good and evil?

6.       Do you see this place of faith, and its members, as a vital link in teaching and persuading Americans to adopt virtues essential for
          America’s progress, endurance, and vitality? If so, why and how? If not, why not?

7.       Some persons have believed, and believe today, that America has a God-mandated role to play in world history. Do you agree or
          disagree? If so, what is it?

8.       Is it important for America to be “religious”? If so, why? And, do you think we as a country are religious enough or not?

9.       What are some of America’s greatest challenges?

10.     In regards to these difficulties, what role should this place of faith, and the members of it, play in working to resolve them?

11.     What are some challenges in practicing your faith? Or, are there things that hinder you from living out your faith as you should?

12.   Share one personal trait that you have more fully developed because you belong to this place of faith, which makes you a better    
         person at home, work, in your community, state, or nation.

13.    Was there a time in your life when you relied on your faith to overcome a particular challenge or trail? If so, would you explain? If not,
         how do you explain that to those who say one faith's greatest traits is to do this very thing?

14.    Are you encouraged to ask family, friends and even acquaintances to come and “join” your place of faith? If so, how? If not, why not?

15.    Is much energy expended, both at your place of faith and in your home, to help children stay in this faith and/or at this    
         denomination? If so, explain. If not, why not?
