Transforming Church, Transforming Lives
Transforming Church, Transforming Lives is the vision of the Diocese of Guildford, launched in September 2016 following a long period of consultation Transforming Church, Transforming Lives communicates the essence of everything we are seeking to pray and work towards across the diocese, rather than being a separate mission project to be hived off to a small bunch of enthusiasts. Transforming Church, Transforming Lives is a framework not a blueprint, encouraging a thousand local initiatives to work towards our broader shared goals. It is primarily a strategy for the local church, though many of its principles are being extended to groups of churches, network congregations, chaplaincies and church schools. Its ethos is: • To encourage local mission initiatives through a culture of permission-giving, training, support and finance. • To develop a deeper sense of partnership and shared accountability between churches and across the diocese, as parishes increasingly look to resource one another, and Church House Guildford to resource the whole. • To grow a culture of honesty, mutual learning, persistent prayer, deepening discipleship and confident faith sharing.
