The Secretariat of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church has introduced a questionnaire for monks across various parishes, the Churches of Saint Mark, and servants of the Church regarding the selection process for monks and their preparation for monasticism, as well as their relationship with the bishops and with other officials in the church. The survey also highlights problems monks may encounter as well as other issues for which they may be responsible, and covers methods of accountability and evaluation across a number of areas.
