Supporting One Another
At Synod 2023, our diocesan community of communities committed to supporting one another in renewing our commitment to, and pursuing God’s mission in these concrete ways:
- Hiring a coordinator to facilitate the work of missional renewal
- Facilitating parish-led discernment processes in service of the following goals:
- Providing a reality check (where are we now?)
- Identifying community gifts and the world’s needs
- Setting and prioritizing missional objectives by discerning how God is inviting each community to use its gifts in response to the world’s needs
- Providing specific support to parishes wishing to set and prioritize missional objectives through
- Offering focused leadership formation opportunities
- Compiling, developing and sharing tools for parishes
- Seeding imagination through examples and case studies of imaginative, possible, and proven ministry transformations
