The way forward
We will embark on an ambitious plan to transform the life
of the Anglican Church in Tasmania over the coming years.
The heart of strategic planning within a church is our
relationship with God. Therefore, our work is a spiritual
process
Seven principles should guide this work:
- Be faithful to our relationship with God and one
another.
- Develop and implement plans at every place of calling
and responsibility.
- Examine every aspect (theology, demographics,
economics, etc) of our diocesan community and propose
plans that reflect these aspects.
- Think big and do not be afraid to take risks and ask
big and difficult questions.
- Listen to one another with open minds and undefending
hearts.
- Explore and identify the relationships and resources
essential to carrying out our ministries.
- Invite broad and open contribution to the
process.
Reports to Synod 2005

council should work to develop a set of long-term goals and
