Census Sensibility

Australia has just completed its latest population census. I've been quite closely involved in this one - being employed as a census collector in a nearby suburb.


I can recommend it, or any other similar activity, as a way to begin to understand your community. I've written before about how church tends to attract a specify type of person (Black Box Theory). Sometimes this can make us forget the breadth and diversity of characters in our community ... which is an important thing to understand if we hope to connect with these people :)
