What legacy do you want to leave?

What legacy do you want to leave? This is a core question of our vision process as we reflect on who we are and who we want to become. God loves his people so dearly that we can trust him for helping us become who we already are in Christ (cf. Phil 3). But a lack of a clear and consistent focus on who we are leads to a lack of fruitfulness in our ministries.

It is always easier to focus on the outward forms of a practice instead of its underlying meaning and power. That is why we need to constantly review, rediscover and re-appropriate the underlying meaning of our traditions so that they can live on into the future. What legacy do you want to leave?

Many Anglican churches leave a legacy of decline, degeneration and death. We know what patterns produce this (see the Vision Display in the church foyer), but breaking these patterns is costly. We also know the principles that produce life, growth, and rising generations to engage with the Christian faith. We can implement these principles at All Souls if we want, although it will be costly. So at the core of our vision process is not so much what we should or shouldn’t be doing, but about discovering our underlying intention and then focusing on that. In other words, What legacy do you want to leave?’
