A vision of transformingLIFE
A vision of transformingLIFE
My vision is for us to create together a caring, sustainable and growing Christian presence in every part of Tasmania.
This will require every Anglican to be
- a prayerful activist.
- enlivened by biblical faith.
- enlivened by the Holy Spirit.
- taking initiatives in mission.
'Being a prayerful activist' means to align ourselves with the purposes of God through unceasing prayer. 'Please Jesus draw near to us and help us be missionary disciples. Deepen our vision of you and your life of love for the world.'
'Enlivened by biblical faith' means to face the challenges of our world while remaining faithful to the revelation of God in the holy Scriptures. It is our calling to live under the Word in the world.
'Enlivened by the Holy Spirit' means a commitment to the transformational work of the Spirit in our lives, growing in confidence, joy and usefulness to God. Individually and corporately being transformed into the likeness of Christ.
'Taking initiatives in mission' means to reach out to people confident in God's sovereign work in the world. The Holy Spirit gifts each Christian for their participation in mission.
