Community Effectiveness Test

Pick a small community cell within which you belong - like a relationship, family, church, prayer group, work team or a board of directors - and rank your degree of fulfillment in each of the following areas:

1. To what degree does this group address your needs for food, shelter and physical safety and comfort?



2. Do you feel emotionally safe with these people?



3. How strong is your sense of belonging? i.e. do you feel included?



4. Are your needs for human warmth, affection and touch, being met in ways which are appropriate for this group?



5. Do you have adequate opportunity to be as competent and creative as you are capable within this circle of people?



6. To what degree do you feel personally affirmed by the people in this group?



7. How much does this group address your need to be involved in a greater meaning which feeds your soul?
