Insights on Community Development from Survey Research

by Theresa Zingery

Overview

Participants explored data from the Bahá’í community and other religious groups to learn more about various measures of community development and see how it might be useful to development planning in their own communities.

Outline

1. Shared reason such data on research is useful and ties into the guidance of the Universal House of Justice
2. Had them take 12 questions from the survey themselves
3. Shared general findings from the Survey research on the aspects that relate to strong vibrant communities
4. Read together quotes from the Bahá’í Writings that relate to what a strong Bahá’í community should be like
5. Compared their average results with that for other small “congregations” and discussed implications for the future
