Christian communities have been doing their level best to assist in the recovery efforts still underway in the nations impacted by the tsunami. But what is the best way to provide relief? Some groups have been accused of using the tragedy as an opportunity for proselytizing. The National Council of Churches has a new guidebook published on their web site that offers best practices for churches hoping to help out. The need for assistance is obvious. The guidebook was written by The Rev. Dr. Shanta Premawardhana, Associate General Secretary for Interfaith Relations, National Council of Churches USA, in consultation with ecumenical leaders in Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
