Ethnê Dreams for Growth

The following are some ways you can be creatively involved:

• Help us to promote coordination between the various existing databases (both between the international databases as well as from national to the international level).  Ideas?
• Give us your suggestions regarding methods, parameters, and protocols of secure communication between our members.
• Identify others who are not currently involved and invite them to participate with us.
• If you are a mission professor or theologian, invite others to participate with you in a sub-group for reflection and analysis.
• Help us refine our standard definitions and data structures.
• Give us recommendations for regional networks regarding how workers can be trained for data collection.
• Create venues for distance learning for field researchers.
• Send us your suggestions regarding needs for research (identify information gaps).
• Dialogue with members of other Ethne strategy groups so we can cross-pollinate ideas and inspiration.
• Promote research projects across regions, seeking to put in place research initiatives where they don’t exist.
• Make suggestions as to how to reconcile people groups and language groups in our databases.
• Develop documents on research ethics and research best practices.
• Identify people who might be interested to be involved in all of the above.
