Welcome to a popular section of our website — SCC POLLs — that encourages participation and interaction. We have done careful research on, and analyzed feedback from, surveys, questionnaires, workshops, courses, interviews, personal conversations, articles, books, email messages, Facebook Pages, Zoom Faith Sharing and Gospel Sharing, visits to SCCs and conferences on SCCs. We have studied carefully the contemporary signs of the times such as the Covid-19 pandemic and pastoral changes in our parishes and dioceses such as the 2021-2024 Synodal Process. We have identified 1746 important characteristics or features of SCCs around the world mainly provided by Small Christian Community (SCCs) members themselves: 836 on the dynamics/process/principles/classifications of SCCs and 910 on the activities/content/outreach/practical action of SCCs. The poll uses the statement — The best part of my Small Christian Community is… — followed by six choices that are taken from these 1746 important characteristics or features of SCCs. These six choices reflect both the inner life and the public life of our SCC Model of Church. We change the poll every two months. The results of the Ninetieth round is listed below and on the SCC Poll/SCC Poll Archives pages. We are now in the
Ninety-First round that covers May – June 2024. You can vote as many times as you want, but not more than once in a 24 hour period. Welcome.
