On 22 September, the General Church Board and College of Bishops approved three Way Forward frameworks for distribution across the LCANZ. The frameworks were recommended by the Way Forward project team, including the reference group and the eight working groups, using a robust evaluation and selection system. This followed the call for models from across the church in June. Three webinars have been organised to allow all members of the church to learn more about the three frameworks and the selection and evaluation process. For more information, visit the Way Forward Webinars webpage.
Three members of the Way Forward team explain the background, structure, work and expectations of the project.
Listen to the podcast.
Our LCANZ bishops are calling the people of the church to set aside Sunday 8 October for a churchwide day of prayer focusing on the unity of the church. This is a significant day as it is one year from the 2024 Convention of General Synod. Promotion resources are available on our Call to Prayer webpage. Read more
