Imagining the Episcopal Church in 2019, an online survey for all Episcopalians

A newly named Strategic Planning Committee, established by the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church, is seeking our opinions. They’ve developed a short survey and invite our participation before July 28, 2009.

The survey address is here:

We sent this out in yesterday’s iSeek and over half the readership clicked through to the survey in the first hours after delivery.

ENS reports:

The survey results could help shape how the church raises and budgets its money in the future.

“Program, Budget and Finance begins with program, what shapes the program that’s the mission, it’s the program that causes the action and it is funded by the budget,” said Albert T. Mollegen, a council and committee member, in an interview.

In addition to the survey results, the Anglican Five Marks of Mission will serve as a guide to shaping the strategic plan, Mollegen said.

The Five Marks of Mission: The Mission of the Church is the mission of Christ

To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
To respond to human need by loving service
To seek to transform unjust structures of society
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth
(Bonds of Affection-1984 ACC-6 p49, Mission in a Broken World-1990 ACC-8 p101)
