The Sign We Give
As part of their ongoing formation, members of the Parish Pastoral Council have been reading and discussing "The Sign We Give" a document about collaborative ministry produced by the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. |
"The Sign We Give" aims to encourage the Church at every level to think more deeply and imaginatively about the theology and practice of collaborative ministry. It is particularly relevant for our parish and will be very useful in helping us to develop our ministries and ways of working, both within the parish and beyond.
“We are convinced that the manner and style of relationships in the Church are part of the sign it gives, and for this reason we must develop patterns of collaborative ministry as a key feature of church life to come.
We wish to encourage all those, women and men, who have been trying to implement and explore such new relationships, with all their difficulties and promises.”
