Doing Research

James P. Wind in Places of Worship: Exploring Their History has put together a list of probing questions that will start a researcher on the quest of a true word picture of the congregation.

  • What?
  • When?
  • Where?
  • Why?
  • How?

    You may have ready answers to some of the questions, but there are some you likely haven't even thought about.

Armed with these comprehensive set of questions, the researcher can now seek places to find answers.
