Counting Church Plants

I have a question. I was going to update my profile and indicate what church I currently attend. But there wasn’t an option to say “Other”. I am only shown a preset list of all the recognised church parishes within the Diocese of Sydney. So my first query is can “Other” be one of the options in that list?

This then leads me onto another thought regarding Church Plants.

If there is a new church plant within the boundaries of the Sydney Anglican Parishes.........

AND.....

it was started by a Sydney Anglican based church group........

THEN....

Question 1:
Is it always assumed that the church plant is attached to a local Anglican “mother” church?

Question 2:
Are there any church plants in the boundaries of Sydney Anglican Diocese that are not attached to a “Mother” church.

Question 3:
If there are church plants ‘goin it alone’....... are they still counted as part of the Sydney Anglican Diocese in their stats?

cheers,
Heather. :-)

Hellooooooooo ....... hello .. hello .. hello [echoes]

Maybe everyone is riveted to Jamie Sommers in Bionic Woman.

Anybody, say maybe, dreaming of starting a church plant??

Actually we’ve just switched over to John Clarke on ABC - looking at dialects of people in Aussie slang Australia!

Maybe I’ll give my attention to that ..... (instead of doing the church email I’m supposed to be doing!)

But of course if you watched “talking heads” a cupla weeks back you would have found out that John Clarke is in actual fact a Kiwi! 

No kidding. Honest truth!

Hello wall. If you run a little faster I’ll meet you at the corner!

Gee its quiet in here.

Enjoyable program, as was the one with the whingeing Poms the week before.

Nice to see Maryanne Fahey again. I thought her upward inflection was a riot.

For those who have been away for a few days ....... you may or may not have realised that the above questions were answered in another dimension by Jeremy H.

[Meaning there was a computer crash and some stuff got lost.]

So to get this thread a happenin agen..........

I wonder what people’s thoughts are on the following.

When does a church plant cease to be a church plant?

(Frivolity totally acceptable.)
