Worldwide Research into Religious and Spiritual Conversion

January 28, 2016

Hi everyone

Re: Invitation to participate in our research on the experiences of adults who have converted to another religious or spiritual tradition.

We are keen to learn more about the impact that conversion has had on converts’ well-being, with the goal of helping to plan for better help, advice and support for converts.

We would like to invite anyone who has experienced religious or spiritual conversion to take part in our online survey.

We will also be asking a random sample of participants who have expressed an interest in being interviewed further about experiences of religious/spiritual conversion. These interviews will be used as a way of getting even deeper insights into what religious/spiritual conversion means for the convert and the strategies that the convert has employed to cope with the transition in embracing a new belief system.

You can find more information and the survey via the following link: http://tinyurl.com/ReligiousConvert.

The survey runs from Friday 22nd January until Sunday 6^th March.

We would be very grateful if you would be kind enough to circulate this invitation to participate in the survey to your contacts or via your social media networks.

Many thanks and best wishes
