The Last Word: Fishing for the new creation: The way of intentional discipleshipp and disciple-making

Notes: "Intentionally following Jesus Christ is radically transformative. It places demands upon us as individuals and as a community of faith, our relationships, the way we handle money, our attitude towards employment and leisure activities, our use of the environment, our political choices and much more. Discipleship can never be about just a single aspect of our lives. It is by definition about the whole of our lives as Christians and the whole Christian community: young and old, lay and clergy. To be a disciple-maker, then, is to have been transformed through our following of Him who calls us so that we share in the calling and life-long transformation of others. 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of [people]' Mt 4, 19). Intentional disciple-making means giving deliberate priority to equipping, mentoring, forming, teaching and maturing those who follow Jesus Christ, individually and as a Church".; "Adapted from a report to the Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion, September 2015".; The author "is Director for Mission of the Anglican Communion".
