A new Vision that will guide the work of the Llandaff Diocese over the next five years is entitled – Where Faith Matters – the Vision aims to enable us all to tell a joyful story, grow the Kingdom of God and build our capacity for good.
Bishop June said,
“Our calling as Christians is to live in such a way that we tell a joyful story and bear witness to faith in Jesus Christ. We seek to do this in our parishes, and as a diocese that is strong, confident, and prayerful, engaged with the realities of life and serving others in God’s name.
The Vision is the result of 18 months of work with Bishop June visiting all areas of the diocese and listening to parishes, schools and chaplaincies. Following its endorsement at Diocesan Conference last year planning groups are working on four key areas of outreach, ministry, education, children and young people plus support and communications.
One area of work will be a bid to the Church in Wales who have made up to £10m available to the six dioceses under the ‘Evangelism Fund’ for projects that focus on people and growing faith.
Vision Lead Sarah Rickett said, “One element of work that is taking place is a mapping of all the wonderful things that are happening across our diocese where the Church, led by its faith, is making a real difference in communities.
“A truly inspiring array of outreach projects and targeted activity that run across a wide spectrum of community needs from dementia cafes to food banks, community cinemas to debt centres have been identified. These activities really help us as a Church to tell a joyful story and truly demonstrate faith in action.
Vision Prayer
Loving Heavenly Father,
you call us to grow your Kingdom.
Help us to tell a joyful story
and to build your goodness in our world,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
