Waltzing within and without the walls, Help me write the report to the General Assembly 2009 Options

[Albert Bogle]

This is an opportunity to invite all who have been connecting with CWW for the past years to have their say in the GA Report. It needs to be in by the 28th February 2009. I think this is a brilliant way to allow others to contribute to the report that I will bring to the General Assembly 2009.

I'd love to hear how some of the ethos of CWW is effecting a difference in your local church?

What is it meaning for you to be a relevant, relational and resourceful church?

A Church Shaped by the Gospel what would it look like today?

If the key elements of the gospel include forgivenesss, healing, compassion for the poor and a passion for justice
How does the church communicate this to the world around? How are you doing it in your community? How are we living it our in our structures.
When structures become relational what happens?


A Church Shaped by Friendship

How has friendship changed your worshipping community and parish?

What kind of people did Jesus befriend?
What kind of people do we befriend?
What kind of people does the church befriend?
Who in your community is looking for friendship?


A Church Shaped by the Gifts of God's people

Take a look at the gifts mentioned in Romans chapter 12 and also in Ephesians 4

How have your leadership team made room for the Gifts of God's people to be used and developed in the ministry to God's people and the parish?


A Church Shaped by its Locale

Where is the church's locale today?
Is it on the internet?
Is it where its members work?
Is it where its members socialise?
Is it within a parish boundary?
Do people in today's world have more than one locale?

What does it mean to connect with the locale but not to be controlled by the locale?
