- Can you give a brief outline of your understanding the main points of the history of Unitarianism/ your Church [by 'Church' is meant denomination]?
- What is your own biography relevant to intersecting with the Church?
- How would you describe its theological spread now?
- Where do you fit regarding its theological spread now?
- How does the church you attend fit in with the span of belief of your Church?
- Would a different church relate better to you as an individual?
- How do you benefit socially from being involved with the Church?
- What is your Church's 'gospel', do you think?
- How would you describe 'faith' and 'salvation'?
- How does the Church in its structures and congregations relate to diversity and equality?
- What can be done to halt decline and develop growth, either structurally or by individual actions?
- How does Unitarianism/ the faith affect daily decision making?
- What sorts of things do Unitarians/ people of the Church say or assume that you disagree with particularly?
- How do you regard any of these: Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, Passover, Diwali, Buddha's Enlightenment, Ramadan/ Eid, Samain? Do any other celebrations impact?
- What connections have you had/ do you have with people of different religions? What would you like?
- Are there any customs or beliefs you particularly dislike and reject?
- Is this approach to faith too easy or too difficult to follow (or something of both)?
- Does your approach to faith clash with science and/ or social science?
- Is there any sense in which the Church's approach to faith is counter-cultural and subversive, or is it just culturally subservient?
- What might cause you to leave the Church (and either move to another, or stop religious practice altogether) and, at present, is this at all likely to happen?
