There is a resource unit for this ministry based at the Wellington Diocese Office where you can source various resources from. We will also come to you with resources and support if need be, just contact us to organise a visit.
This section of the website will be updated form time to time as new resources become available. For now, here is a list of resources that we have found interesting and useful.
Free online book about community development
I haven’t read it but I'm reliably informed this book is seriously hot! And only very recently released. So I thought you would be interested to know of it. Besides, it's free! Its origins are in developing online communities, but I gather it's been generalised to communities in the full wide sense.

Skylight
New magazine supports teens through tough times.
Skylight has launched an innovative new single edition youth support magazine, ‘The Journey Through’, which honestly and frankly tackles the very difficult issues teens and young people face. It’s been written specifically for young people in New Zealand, and features many stories, words and photos, kiwi teens have contributed. The issues teenagers face are diverse and Skylight recognizes how crucial it is that young people get support they can relate to, to help them get through the really rough times. ‘The Journey Through’ is a colourful, image-rich resource, that helps readers understand, process and manage their tough experiences.
