Thanks Sharon. The Strategic Plan document will be presented to the AGM on 7 March: once it is adopted we will look at how we can include it (or a summary) more clearly on our website. The pastoral statement continues to be important for us – hopefully the Strategic plan document will help us determine how well we manage to live out the implications of the pastoral statement.

I’m glad you’ve retained your Pastoral Statement (contained within your Strategic Plan). Perhaps your Vision, Mission and Pastoral Statement need to be included under the section “About Us” for ease of reference?

Thanks Garry. The issue “handouts” is always a difficult one, as is the language of “choice” when it comes to conversations about how people spend their money – I’m not sure that it is ever as simple as that. Mother Teresa described the poor as “Christ in distressing disguise” – I spend a lot of time reflecting on my anger, impatience, disgust around these issues in the light of Mother Teresa’s suggestion.

An ambitious plan – leave room for lunch! Not at all happy with giving handouts to those who choose to live (and evacuate) on the streets and spend their money on grog.
