These are general items of
between about 3,000 and 8,000 words covering a wide range of topics. Move to the 'effectiveness models' page for John's new Church Health Review, launched in October 2007.
The articles are in pdf. Click on this button

The table includes a word count (for the text of the item itself excluding opening and closing explanations), followed by the pdf size. The 'dates' column shows when the article was first published on this website, followed by the date of the current version where the article has subsequently been updated.
Over the summer of 2007 all the articles were given a design makeover. This included new cartoons with the headings to distinguish six filing categories: Leadership, Management, Structures, Planning, Communication and Administration (see the new column in the table). To see what is included within each of these six headings, check out the On Offer page.
