High response rates have traditionally been considered as one of the main indicators of survey quality. Obtaining high response rates is sometimes difficult and expensive, but clearly plays a beneficial role in terms of improving data quality. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that simply boosting response to achieve a higher response rate will not in itself eradicate nonresponse bias.

Liturgy and catechesis should happen together. We’ve brought together liturgists, catechists, pastoral ministers, and academic experts to address how a parish might pastorally care for families who are bringing their children to the Church for Baptism. These essays discuss pre-education, training for catechists, timing of the rites, and the homily. But it doesn’t stop there: mystagogy and follow-up are addressed, too.
