Devotional resources for committing the Parish Review to the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit October, 2013
Scripture Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’ Matthew 28: 16-20.
Intention For the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit upon this season of review at St. James’ and recommendations for action.
Reflection "We need to be a risk taking church. There is no safety in Christ there's absolute security but there is no safety and we have to make a big difference between knowing that we are in his arms and knowing that he calls us to do risky things. So the vision is about being a risk-taking Church and finding ways of liberating people to be risk-takers, in the service of Christ." May 17, 2013. Archbishop Justin Welby in conversation with Nicky Gumbel.
