Analysis And Design: A Handbook for Practioners And Consultants in Church And Community Work

Much is written about analyzing church and community work, little about designing. This book is about both. It describes sequences that cover every aspect from having initial ideas to evaluating the outcome. These sequences enhance the quality and value of work with people whilst giving practitioners greater job satisfaction. The book is a handbook for clergy and laity who want to examine their own work, for trainers who lead work study courses and for work consultants. It contains four worked examples of analysis and design, and detailed commentaries on the methodology and the underlying theory and theology. It also discusses difficulties of practising the approach, and describes eight major contributions it makes to Church and society.
