We want to do a large centre spread about people’s thoughts and opinions.

We’ve all got different opinions, which is a good thing. So we thought this might make for a great centre spread in a future issue of The Light.

We’ve put together a BIG Questions survey covering things like cosmology, health, government, banking and some of the bigger questions and theories out there.

There are around 30 questions, mostly multiple choice, with some one-liners and space to write more if you want to. It should take around 5–30 minutes, depending on how much you want to say.

You can do it completely anonymously, or leave your name if you’d like us to consider your answers for publication.
We think it will make interesting reading for everyone.

Thank you.
