Resolves of the Executive Council

Resolved, The Executive Council, recognizing the importance of our ministry of reconciliation and connection as congregations, dioceses, provinces and national church, believes that the following represent areas of energy in the life of the Church, which need to be expanded and reflected in our overall programmatic efforts and which should inform our mission and budget over the next triennium:

1. Reaching out to youth and young adults through intentional inclusion and full incorporation in the thinking, work, worship and structure of the Church

2. Reconciling and engaging those who do not know Christ by participating in God’s mission of reconciling all things to Christ and proclaiming the Gospel to those who are not yet members of the Church.

3. Revitalizing and transforming congregations through commitment to leadership development, spiritual growth, dynamic and inclusive worship, greater diversity, and mission.

4. Reaffirming our commitment to enhancing diversity at every level of the church; promoting justice and peace for all of God’s creation; and reaching out to the dispossessed, imprisoned and otherwise voiceless needy

5. Reaffirming the importance of our partnerships with provinces of the Anglican Communion and beyond and our relationships and dialogues with ecumenical and interfaith partners.

In accordance with the mandate of Executive Council, these are ordered in importance to reflect the Church’s missional energy.
