- Reaching out – developing links with the wider church, and sharing time and resources with groups and communities who are marginalised or stand in particular need. We have found that these chime well with the 4 strategic priorities of the Diocese of Winchester: Under God, delighting in his grace and rooted in the diocesan rule of life, we will be a diocese in which: We grow authentic disciples, going out as individuals passionately, confidently and courageously sharing their faith, and coming together as creative church communities of prayer and worship that live out kingdom values. We re-imagine the church intentionally connecting and engaging with our local communities in culturally relevant ways. We will rejoice in the richness of the ‘mixed economy’ of all ministry and proactively promote vibrant parochial and breathtaking pioneering ministries among ‘missing’ generations, e.g. children, young people, under 35s. We are agents of social transformation using our influence as a diocese to transform public and personal life. We will demonstrate loving faith at work, in local communities and across the globe bringing healing, restoration and reconciliation, e.g. through Education, Social Enterprise, Health Care, Spiritual Care Teams. We belong together in Christ, practising sacrificial living and good stewardship of all that God has entrusted to us. We will combine radical generosity, care and capacity building with a clear focus on directing finance into the mission of Jesus. Sharing and multiplying local good practice, using people, buildings and other resources wisely we will seek to boldly prune, plant and invest in building for the kingdom.
