Background
In May 2013, the Synod resolved to undertake a major strategic review (MSR). For over two years the MSR team worked across the Synod - prayerfully listening, worshipping, consulting, researching, analysing and discerning.
Following Christ,
walking together
as First and Second Peoples,
seeking community, compassion
and justice for all creation
A call to us all
Sharon Hollis, Moderator, Uniting Church in Australia Synod of Victoria and Tasmania
It is my prayer that the Vision and Mission Principles will assist the church across our synod to return again and again to our primary call – to be Jesus followers. They call us back to the heart of who we are and remind us we are people who recognise in Jesus the presence of God.
The Vision and Mission Principles give language to how it is we will follow Jesus and what marks our participation in the reign of God. Because the principles are both descriptive and aspirational they invite us to continue to live more fully into the life of God, made know to us in Jesus Christ through how we act in the world and share our faith.
