The Process and Acknowledgements We hope that you have found some of these ideas and initiatives both stimulating and helpful. It may well be that there are new plans and projects in your community which have been put in place since the responses to the Parish Questionnaire which arrived last year. Please share with us what you have been doing so that sometime in the future we can prepare a supplement for every parish to let everyone know of new ideas and initiatives. One particular parish community in our diocese has explored all of ideas and initiatives and they are more than willing to share their ideas with others in their deanery and beyond. The suggestions they have provided focus mainly on evangelisation - they fit into the 'Outreach' heading in this booklet. We suggest that you look at all the suggestions they have on offer via their own contact address: . Those involved with these initiatives refer to them as 'Good News Ideas'. You may well want to look further at what is on offer from St John's at Annitsford. As we noted in the Introduction to this document, there is a very wide range of very interesting ideas, and the best way of following up any of the thoughts and suggestions is to go directly to the parishes involved. You can follow them up directly via the Diocesan Website or the Northern Catholic Calendar. A final word of thanks once again to Gerard Murphy for compiling and editing this booklet. If there are mistakes then that is our fault. Please let us know of any inaccuracies, we will endeavour to make amends in any future publications. We hope that you find this booklet of interest and are inspired to explore ways in your community and your neighbouring communities can witness to Jesus in our world today.
