Projects 

      CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 500 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.

      Projects can be searched for using words from the project title or using the service area, theme, or date range for the project. You can also type 'Service Area' or 'Theme' into the search bar to get a list of options in each of these fields.

      Projects

      CCBR partnered with Kentro Christian Network on a research project led by Graf-Martin, exploring Canadian Christians' perceptions of global poverty. CCBR strengthened the project's framing, integrity, and usefulness by providing coaching and feedback throughout the research process. Our team supported collaborative, community-based data collection through tool development, data analysis, report preparation, and knowledge mobilization.

      CCBR, in partnership with MACC, led a 2.5-year project examining the barriers Muslim women in Halton face when seeking support for gender-based violence. The project identified community, systemic, and service-related barriers; documented promising culturally informed practices; developed recommendations for policy and practice; and shared findings through survivor narratives, reports, an infographic, a webinar, and a community summit.

      CCBR collaborated with Mennonite Church Eastern Canada (MCEC) to explore how best MCEC can be a resource to its congregations and pastors regarding engaging youth in faith formation. A literature review, an online discussion board, Photovoice with youth, and focus groups with pastors and youth leaders were conducted.

      The Mennonite Brethren (MB) Confession of Faith is a guide for biblical interpretation, theological identity, and ethical practice. This research project explored the divergent ways that Canadian MB congregations have used the Confession to guide their thought and action. 

      The purpose of this project was to analyse and summarize survey data as a part of the larger strategic planning process for the Anglican Church. The survey was administered among clergy, lay staff, parishioners, and the broader community in Huron County Ontario.
