Letter to the editor: A need for visionary leadership in the Church

Notes: "I read with great interest the article by Bishop Mark in the January [2019] edition of the 'Anglican Journal' ('Acknowledging the painful errors of our past', p. 5)". "The question, however, arises as to how one can actually stop the wheels of the Church machine when those in leadership have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. As a member of the Anglican Church for over 30 years, I have been part of numerous visioning exercises where, along with fellow congregants, I have been invited to imagine what the future church might look like. After reading Bishop Mark's urgent appeal to 'step back and begin the procedure of clean-up and hygiene', I wonder what the impact would be in our communities if each church hung a large sign out front that simply read, 'Temporarily closed for divine renovations'".
