Good Information, Sound Decisions

Abstract

In this issue of Clergy Notes, we introduce you to some of the measurements that local clergy are using to evaluate their neighborhood and community. Some turn to the information eager to attract new members. Others consider the data helpful in planning neighborhood outreach. We all are searching for reliable and accessible information. Today, huge amounts of statistical and other data are available, usually for free, if you know where to look. Making sense of the information, however, can be tricky.
