33 The round one questionnaire collected demographic information including the participant’s name, e-mail address, birthdate, ministry experience, and statement of evangelical beliefs. Four open-ended questions asked participants to list items they believed were important to the future of ministry with women. Responses to the questions were analyzed for themes or patterns that emerged for inclusion in the second round questionnaire. The round two and three survey questions are listed in Table 3. In round two, participants were asked to use a 5-point Likert scale to rate the importance of each statement from round one to the future of women’s ministry.22 One and two on the Likert scale indicated an item was less important to the future of ministry with women, three indicated the participant was unsure, and four and five indicated the item was important to the future of ministry with women. Consensus was determined when any item reached 70% or greater agreement as being "important" or "not important" to the future of ministry with women. Rankings of one and two were combined to determine consensus on what was "not important" to the future of ministry with women, and rankings of four and five were combined to determine consensus on what was "important" to the future of ministry with women. Items reaching 70% or greater agreement were moved to a consensus list for priority ranking in round four. No items reached consensus as "not important" to the future of ministry with women.
