Taking our Place in Church and Community
On October 1st 2002 Gweini: The Council of the Christian Voluntary Sector in Wales, ( governed by Evangelical Alliance Wales working together with CARE, Tearfund Wales, Prospects, St Michael's Church Aberystwyth and Cornerstone Church Swansea), released its first book.
A comprehensive A-Z of everything you need to know about welfare provision in a specifically Welsh context, this is a goldmine of information. A completely unique, 'must read' for anyone wanting to be salt and light in their community through welfare provision, this book will help you to make a difference and empower your church to take its place in the local community.

The Naked Church
For years we've been hearing that we need to get "out there" - The Naked Church is a practical handbook for churches wanting to engage more with their communities, focusing on inspiring success stories from around Wales. The picture above was taken at the book's launch in the National Assembly on February 1st, 2006 and has four of the five joint-authors - Elfed, Rob James, Dan Boucher and Julian Richards.
Copies can be obtained from Gweini @ £6.50 each. PO Box 601, Cardiff, CF10 1YR, info@gweini.org.uk To find out more visit www.gweini.org.uk
The Directory
This 'evangelical directory of expertise', lists Christian spokespersons from all over Wales who are skilled and competent to be interviewed on television or radio on a host of different topics from euthanasia to education.
The directory is lodged with the National Assembly for Wales, HTV and the BBC so evangelical Christians can be drawn upon when a Christian perspective is required. Our vision is to begin to influence society as the Christian voice is heard more clearly through the media.
The Video
Most churches in Wales are small and many struggle to do evangelism. Our vision is to provide practical help and inspiration to the churches in our nation.
A resource video 'Land of my children' was sent as a gift to 800 churches in Wales. It features examples of different types of evangelism currently in effective use all over the nation. Our aim is to show that evangelism can and should be done!
Each video was be accompanied by a list of churches and organisations in Wales that are willing to offer advice and help to smaller churches wishing to engage in evangelism.
