15. Mission Action Planning
Mission Action Planning puts flesh on to what we say of ourselves as a Church

Every Church in the Diocese is encouraged to undertake the process of actively reflecting on its strategy for Mission and Ministry, and setting appropriate goals
Mission Action Planning is basically organised common sense!
