You can make comments via the online form on each of the framework pages: or you can add your comments via the survey link below. Meanwhile we are reading and answering every question and comment about the three frameworks or forwarding them to the working groups for consideration. Your input is guiding us towards the preferred framework, which will be submitted as a proposal to next year's General Synod. If you need a recap on the three frameworks, you might want to watch the October webinar again. What are you thinking? We'd like to know what you are thinking and how you are feeling about the Way Forward; in particular the three frameworks. Please let us know, by taking the short survey. It's anonymous (unless you choose to tell us your name.) New resources The Way Forward team has been hard at work producing new church bulletin inserts, PowerPoint slides for your church service announcements, and more. You can find them on our Resources page. Please ask your pastor or chairperson to use these resources to keep your members informed, and don't forget to share the Resources link with others in your community. Working groups A number of you have requested the terms of reference for the eight Way Forward working groups. We have added the terms of reference to the website, and you can find them here. Talk about it We want every member of the church to know what is happening so they can consider the options and contribute to the Way Forward. Please share this webinar recording with your congregations and communities. Synod delegates, in your responsible role, we are looking to you especially to engage your parish members in this conversation. We've prepared some talking points to help get the conversations started, and we welcome your congregation's feedback on the three frameworks via the Frameworks webpages. Don't forget to pray You are encouraged to pray for the unity of our church, during congregational worship, in your family and private devotion time, and whenever you meet with each other about the Way Forward project. Click on the link for petitions especially written for this time in our church's life. ![]() Christmas break We are taking a break for the last week of December and the first two weeks of January, so please anticipate a delay in responses over this period. Thank you so much for your engagement in this project. It's not the project team who will find the best way forward, it's the collective insights and feedback from the people across our church – people like you. Thank you!
