Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota IX Bishop search
Four Key goals
Goal 1: Spiritual Transformation & Fuller Participation in God's Mission
For the congregations in the Diocese of Minnesota to experience a profound sense of shared spiritual transformation and theological renewal, which leads all Minnesota Episcopalians to participate more fully in God's mission in our world.
Goal 2: Renew congregations in context
For every congregation to connect or re-connect its ministry directly to its particular mission field and become communities in which discipleship is a way of life for all God's people.
Goal 3: Recreate the diocese as a network
To redevelop the entire diocese by the end of 2009 to function primarily as a network of congregations and ministries. These networks will exercise local initiative and responsibility for shared ministry in their contexts.
Goal 4: develop effective stewardship of financial resources
For the diocese to develop and implement fiscal strategies that make the best use of the resources God has entrusted to us, and to challenge and motivate all Episcopalians to generous and faithful giving.
