Reflections From Coolham

(1):

A New Calling for a New Millennium

Pope Francis’ call to become

A Church of Joyful Missionary Disciples

was anticipated by JPII in 2001:

‘Put out into the deep’

and

‘Contemplate the Face of Christ’

(Novo

Millennio

Ineunte

)

Pope Francis more recently wrote to Religious urging them:

look to the past with gratitude, live the present with passion, look to the future with hopeSlide5

Reflections From Coolham

(2):

Dealing With Change

Change is inevitable in any living organisation – but organisations naturally resist change!

Change may be

reactive

(forced on us) or

proactive

(freely chosen)

Change may be

incremental

(presuming existing structures) or

transformational

(the result of ‘blue-sky thinking’)

Management

seeks to do things right;

Leadership

seeks to do the right things: we need both!

Change involves

bereavement

– leaving behind – and is inherently unsettling/disturbingSlide6

Reflections From Coolham

(3):

Begin With The Positive

Our rationale has to be a better way of being Church, NOT reducing number of clergy

A

Kairos

-moment

(both

grace and decision

) as we await

New Bishop

in

Golden Jubilee year

Resistance costs energy, alignment increases energy – so when we feel resistance LISTEN and seek to convert resistance into alliances

Task of everyone is Discernment

A particular task of the Clergy is to empower the baptismal vocation of all and guide our communities through a time of changeSlide7

Reflections From Coolham

(4):

Reasons For Seeking Change:

Freshness of the Gospel

(‘New Wine, New Wineskins’) and power of the Spirit

Our broken world is in

need of salvation

Being Christ-like

and prophetic (like Pope Francis)

Nature of the Church

is transformational mission

Reaching out

to the hurting, to those not touched by existing models (‘resting Catholics’); using the gifts of all to build community

more

efficient

use

of

resourcesSlide8

Reflections From Coolham

(4):

Moving Through A Change Process

Need to be

attentive to emotional dimension

(honesty about feelings, hopes/fears)

What

empowers us

(or

dis

-empowers us)?

We need to articulate

a clear and compelling vision

for the future:

‘even better if ...’

Ask:

what steps are required

to achieve that?

We need to acknowledge and value difference – aim is

alignment of energies

, not uniformitySlide9

Reflections From Coolham

(5):

What Sort of Change Do We Want?

What are we hoping for?

What are we passionate about?

What is the most appropriate response to our situation?

Slide10

Reflections From Coolham

:

Types of Change

Proactive

Reactive

Incremental

Tuning Adaptive

Transformational

Re-orientation RegenerationSlide11

Draft Vision Statement

for Weybridge Deanery

As members of Christ’s Church, reading the signs of the times and listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit, we respond to the call to proclaim the joy of the Gospel to all, most especially the marginalised and the broken hearted.

 

We commit to creating an inclusive community where the gifts of all are used for God’s service.

 Slide12

Why This Statement

The Holy Spirit calls us and empowers each one of us through our Baptism.

We are all called to contribute our Spirit-given gifts and to work together to build up the Christian community.

The very act of celebrating the Eucharist sends us forth to share the Gospel.

Christ comes to us unrecognised in the least and the most rejected (Mt 25.40) both within and beyond our community.Slide13

Why Now?

In a rapidly changing world, new ways of witnessing to the Gospel are needed.

Through the media we are being made aware both of increasing brokenness in our society and the world at large and of new possibilities for connecting with others as our brothers and sisters.

There is a growing awareness in the Church of our call to be missionary disciples.

Pope Francis has challenged us all “to be bold and creative in ... rethinking the goals, structures, style and methods of evangelisation” and in acting together to undertake the task of sharing the Joy of the Gospel.

So we believe that

‘Now is the favourable time’

(2 Cor 6.2) – a God-given opportunity to renew and deepen our faith and witness in our locality.Slide14
