The Imagine project
October 2007
A plan to enhance stewardship, establish experimental local Mission Projects and appoint Missioner Bishops.
The Imagine Project is an initiative responding to the Bishopís challenge in a healthychurch...transforminglife to promote mission in the Diocese of Tasmania.
The initiative will work with existing strategies and has three broad thrusts:
- bringing the authority and accountabilities of the office of bishop to build grass-roots mission,
- appointing a Missioner Bishop with gifts in stewardship to both enhance mission and free the Diocesan Bishop for increased parish involvement,
- directing resources in a focused way to experimental local mission projects which will be mainly financed by funding partners and supported by a Missioner Bishop.
