Our Motivation “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.” Matthew 28:19 The commission to evangelise and make disciples drives all the work we are doing.

The Research From Anecdote to Evidence Growing churches are those with good leadership and clear focus on mission and discipleship Arithmetic projections Rapid decline in numbers of worshippers and clergy leading to virtual extinction of the Church in some areas Diocesan conversations

Diocesan Conversations Universal ambition for growth Sharp reduction in clergy numbers due to retirements Keep the parish system Strengthen clergy numbers and build lay leadership capacity Reality gap between scale of ambition and capacity to achieve it

Prayerful Urgent Radical Together Our Response Prayerful Urgent Radical Together

Reform & Renewal One part of the response Based on what dioceses have told us Many strands A single purpose: to make sure we have the right people and resources to help us to re-evangelise England and grow in the life of the Kingdom of God

Main Changes Discipleship Evangelism Increase in lay leadership 50% increase in candidates for ordination by 2020 Discerning and nurturing senior leaders Simplifying church bureaucracy Central changes All national funding for dioceses will be for mission and growth. Half to support mission in poorer areas. Half to invest in new growth opportunities around the country

Consultation and Engagement Further work is in progress with dioceses More detailed proposals being developed Have your say: www.churchofengland.org/discipleshipreport www.churchofengland.org/simplificationreport www.churchofengland.org/rmereport www.churchofengland.org/rtfreport

The Prize So that the Risen Christ can be restored to the centre of this country, its conscience and its culture. “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or conceive, by the power which is at work among us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations for ever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3.20-21
