Dear Sir:
 

My name is ___________________, and I am a student at _______________ High School. As part of my ___________ class, I am conducting a survey on present-day evolutionary positions and religious concepts regarding evolution. The information will be used as a source of comparison to contrast with the historical responses of Darwin's theory. As part of my assignment, I must obtain the views of a minister to use in our class discussion. 

I would be greatly appreciative if you would take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Your answers will aid our class project.

1) Does your religion accept a theory of evolution?
 

2) Does your religion distinguish between Darwinian evolution, which occurs through chance, and an evolutionary process that is guided?
 

3) What does your religion teach regarding the origin of humans?
 

4) Please feel free to comment in any manner you may wish to.
 

Thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,
