WITH’s approach to encouraging sustainable church and community transformation is called Situation Response Development, or abbreviated as SRD. While WITH refers to its approach as SRD, its roots lie in the MMD ARA (Action-Reflection-Action) approach and the underlying philosophy is essentially the same. So you will see many references to ARA, and unless a distinction is made, the approaches can be regarded as synonymous.

In this section of our Resources we describe and illustrate the SRD approach.
