Another Reformation?


Policy 4 of the Diocese Mission is To reform the life of the Diocese (including our culture, ordinances, customs, use of resources, and deployment of ministry) to encourage and enable the fulfilment of the fundamental aim.

The idea is that all of the resources and culture of the Diocese should be redirected to serve the ends of the aim, namely To multiply Bible-based Christian fellowships, congregations and churches which equip and nurture their members and expand themselves, both in the Diocese and ‘in all the world’.

With limitations on future funding forcing serious thinking about future structures and priorities, now is a good time to think about our progress in reform. This kind of reform need not be bad. Over time, unnecessary practices creep into any organisation. Sometimes, before you realise that they actually have slowed things down, they have already become entrenched. Funding cuts force a review, and that can be a good thing.

Constantly reforming themselves is something all ecclesiatical organizations should be doing.
