is to achieve a shared vision and practice of the ministry of all believers. This means that every parishioner takes responsibility to contribute to the life of the faith community and be a witness in the broader community. This requires the spiritual growth of all believers, a deepening relationship with God, others, oneself and creation.

The spiritual growth and ministry of all believers is dependent on vibrant Christian community in which :

• all are welcome to belong and participate;
• the active participation of young people and children is valued and encouraged;
• worship is dynamic and includes the whole worshipping community;
• healing and reconciliation are a visible reality;
• the humanity of each member grows in relation with others;
• dynamic small groups build up the individual into community;
• the love of Christ is experienced, made visible, and given to the world.

Our prayer is that this vision has been faithfully received from God. As we have received it faithfully, may we live it faithfully, that it may be a blessing to us and through us to our world.
