- Notes
- "The money you contribute to the ministry of your local parish is shared far beyond its boundaries". "Some of that money is used to fund the ministries of General Synod, and the rest is shared". "Just about one-fifth of the money we get from dioceses (from you !) supports ministries in the dioceses of the Council of the North". "Smaller amounts strengthen partner churches in the Anglican Communion". "Your generosity conveys your spirit and your faithfulness to Sacred Circle, a gathering of indigenous Anglicans that takes place every three years to strengthen and sustain spiritual renewal both among those who attend and in the communities they serve". "At General Synod we are taking serious steps to reduce what it costs to administer the national work of our church. Good administration really matters, but we can be better stewards of God's bounty and leave more for other things. More resources to support an emerging national project in adult Christian formation, more to address the high suicide rates that plague some indigenous communities, more to care for creation. In God's transforming mission, there will always be new work for God's church to take up".
