What these groups mean
Nonexclusive
One response can match several themes, so theme counts add up to more than the number of responses.
Keyword-coded
Themes are assigned by keyword matching, not human interpretation. They are navigation aids rather than conclusions.
Privacy-screened
Responses naming people, congregations, or locations are withheld pending human review, so published excerpts are a subset.
