An article I wrote for [Faith Today](http://www.faithtoday.ca/?ref=dashhouse.com) is [now online](http://www.evangelicalfellowship.ca/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=6091&ref=dashhouse.com):

> Churches often want to understand their communities better but don’t know where to begin. A new resource exists for exactly this reason: to help churches conduct and interpret community research.

> The Community Research Guide is a “book of options,” according to its author James Watson. “It helps the leaders of a church build their own process to understand their community.”

> The guide was produced by The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada in partnership with Outreach Canada.

> “Churches are asking how to be the church in a particular community,” says Watson, who works for Outreach Canada in Waterloo, Ont. “This guide will help people open their eyes. It helps give passion and compassion for a church’s community.”

Wish that the Community Resource Guide had been released sooner. Our summer students at Richview could have used it! You can find out more about the guide [here](http://www.evangelicalfellowship.ca/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=734&%5F%5Fnccssubcid=52&nccsm=21&%5F%5Fnccsct=Books&%5F%5FnccspID=888&ref=dashhouse.com).
