Church of England seeks to mobilize members

Maria Mackay

“Church of England moots five year plan” Christian Today. February 9, 2011.

A report outlining some of the challenges and priorities for the Church of England in the next five years encountered mixed responses at the General Synod [February 8]. 

The report, Into the New Quinquennium, admits to the challenges facing the Church of England in relation to declining attendance and increasing secularization.

It notes that the size and aging profile of many congregations requires “new imagination” in the way the Church of England seeks to demonstrate its faithfulness to the Great Commission to this generation. It highlights some priorities, including the need for more and younger vocations, and to mobilize the whole body of Christ “releasing every Christian across the Church of England into active discipleship and witness in the world.”
