" At Diocesan Convention
2006 I called on the diocese to begin a broad-based visioning process
that would lead to a set of shared priorities to focus the mission
of the diocese for the next three to five years. It was my hope that
the process we created would be organically related to the worship
life of the Church, and not an off-the-shelf strategic planning process
laid down on top of our unique, vibrant life."

RESOURCES
FOR THE JOURNEY
Julia Mc Cray
Goldsmith, Coordinator for Faith Formation in the Diocese, worked
with a design team to create what she calls 'Resources for the Journey."
The Playbox—a CD/DVD-based resource distributed to all congregations
in February 2008—is the component of the comprehensive diocesan
strategic visioning process that is specifically designed to enhance
local leadership. Following the model established in the “Building
the Beloved Community” visioning conference hosted at Grace
Cathedral in May of 2007, the diocesan visioning process is an
intentional and prayerful dialogue between our bishop and the lay
and clergy leaders of our diocese about the future that God is
calling us to.
