We’re still on a mission! How Connect09 fits in with our Mission strategy.

The Apostles’ Creed reminds us of the great truths of the gospel. Saying it should remind us to rejoice in these truths.

The 2008 Easter message from Archbishop Peter Jensen.

As we pray and plan to connect with our communities in 2009, we can expect the word of God to speak powerfully to those with whom we share our lives.

A Global Anglican Future Conference is planned for June 2008. I want those in the fellowship of our Diocese to know what this is about and why I am involved.

In saying that ‘all authority comes from God’, and that those in authority are God’s servants for our good, the Bible has certainly not forgotten Pontius Pilate and King Herod. On the contrary, there are moments in the biblical record where authority is rightly defied, and there exist those noble words, ‘we must obey God, rather than man.’

In 2009 we are planning one of the greatest make-Jesus-known campaigns ever seen in this country.

As we end the year there is one matter which is causing much grief amongst Anglicans and where we need to bear witness to biblical teaching while respecting those with whom we differ.

Next year needs to focus on research, prayer and training if our churches are going to be ready for the Connect 09 mission.

You can get a sense of what I am saying by reading both the whole of the HOB statement and Bishop Mouneer’s dissenting opinion. If it is true that the Americans have failed to deliver, you can see why this is the case. We are confronted with two great passions for a gospel. It is hardly an answer at all to the Primates: it’s really, passionately all about a gospel of inclusion. Most don’t regret what they have done – not for a moment. This is a missionary faith. Far from retreating, they hope that all will come to agree with them and they are making arrangements for this to happen.

‘Crisis’, ‘schism’, ‘division’, ‘break-up’ – this has been the language of the last five years in the Anglican Communion. Again and again we have reached ‘defining moments’, ‘crucial meetings’ and ‘turning points’, only to discover that they simply lead into another period of uncertainty. Uncertainty is now over. The decisive moments have passed. Irreversible actions have occurred.

We must now all take the actions and do the thinking required to safeguard biblical truth, not merely in the West but throughout the Anglican world. To fail here, will be to waste the time and effort which has brought us to this fateful hour.

The virtual mid-point of our 10-year Diocesan Mission program prompts us to ask again why we have chosen the figure of 10 per cent in our plans to reach the population of our region in a decade.

It is an age of novelty in congregational life. Whether we like it or not both minister and people are willing, on the whole, to break with the past and to experiment with the way in which they meet as God’s people.

I have a dream – a dream to give all our fellow citizens in the Diocese a copy of the word of God.

It is often held that gospel outreach amongst seniors is easy. It is thought that with age comes a clearer vision of the eternity that waits beyond the grave. But I am not sure aging does have this effect.
