urban mission
Speaking from my current context, I firmly believe in a church that ‘follows Jesus and serves our community so that tomorrow can be different for us all.’ I would seek to bring to Synod a grounded, pastoral and mission-focused perspective, formed in parish ministry, deanery leadership and the realities of urban mission.
I would bring the experience of parish ministry, urban mission and deanery leadership, together with a personal conviction formed through the ordinary welcome of a local church.
I would hope to bring the voice of rural churches, ministry and communities to Synod whilst holding in parallel the needs of our urban mission.
Through serving on the M:Power board and as an ADDO, I have been overjoyed to witness God at work in estates across our diocese, including through four Urban Mission ALMs in our parish.
