Objectives and Activities What do we want to see? Our Vision Our vision is to see all God’s people engaged in God’s mission, bringing challenge, change, hope and freedom to the world. As we join in God’s mission, through Jesus and in the power of the Spirit we see that: The love of Christ renews people and places Pioneering leaders forge new paths of transformation People on the margins flourish The healing of creation begins Who are we? Our Identity We are a community of people set free to follow God’s call in mission. As a community it is God’s mission that is our passion. Our common commitment is: To participate in mission To learn from mission To pray for mission What are our values? We are people who are: Pioneering: we try new things, ask questions, cross boundaries Evangelistic: we share Jesus in word and action Relational: we get alongside people, becoming a genuine part of the communities where we find ourselves Faithful: where others have left or given up, we remain committed for the long haul As a mission community God calls us to be such people. We commit ourselves to live by these values 4 Church Mission Society - The call in action What do we do? Our Call Our call is to see people set free to play their part in the mission of God. God calls people, both individually and together, to engage in his mission. Our focus is to see both individual disciples and communities of disciples set free to play their part in the mission of God. Our third priority expresses our desire as a community to be as effective as we can be in delivering the first two. Thus we will work to set people free to play their part in the mission of God by: Raising disciples in mission Partnering churches in mission Maximising our effectiveness in mission Achievements and Performance The following stories illustrate some of the achievements in each of CMS’s areas of activity and celebrate both the impact for individual beneficiaries and the wider benefits for society as a whole To achieve our mission, we work through the following six mission activities: Mission Partners: Our mission partners are members of the community who feel called to serve alongside local Christians in other cultures, wherever in the world that may take them. Pioneer Mission Education: Wherever in the world the mission of Jesus takes place, the church needs pioneer mission leaders to break new ground. This fresh and innovative training programme currently offers certification up to MA level and is particularly for those working in pioneering contexts. Church and Community: We believe in every member of the Church being involved in the mission of Jesus. Over 2,800 CMS members currently live in the UK, so we are concerned for mission locally, as well as in the rest of the world. Mission Grants: Grants provide seed money and on-going financial support for key projects and ministries. Local Partners: Local partners are gifted, passionate Christian leaders in Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East. We assist the churches of those who cannot afford the entire support for this pioneering work. Enabling Mission Network: CMS is committed to seeing indigenous CMS missions established globally – enabling local mission leaders to follow God’s leading. This network includes CMS Africa, AsiaCMS, CMS New Zealand, CMS Ireland, CMS Australia and SAMS USA Registered Company No. 6985330 and Registered Charity No. 1131655 (England and Wales) and SC047163 (Scotland) 5 MISSION PARTNERS We are thrilled by people responding to God’s call on their lives. As part of this call we currently have 141 mission partners, 132 mission associates; and 20 short termers. In 2016 our mission partners worked in 32 countries. Mission partner numbers show a small decline compared to the previous year. CMS has begun implementing its new recruitment strategy to reverse this decline. This strategy focuses on the areas of proactive recruitment, increased engagement with local churches, a strong and engaging presence at Christian festivals, and measures to shorten the time from selection to deployment. “Our people in Four People in Mission (PiM) conferences were held during the year: two in the UK, one in Uganda, and one in Turkey. These are vital times of mission are training encouragement, building community, reflection and training for PiM.

This involves CMS working in new pioneering contexts caring for creation, and countries. Our people in mission are training leaders and making disciples, caring for people at risk, caring for creation, promoting peace and promoting peace reconciliation and promoting economic sustainability.

  • Background Paper Private Members Motion “That This Synod Express the Desire That the Church of England Be in Communion with the Anglican Church in North America”
    GS 1764A Background Paper Private Members Motion “That this Synod express the desire that the Church of England be in communion with the Anglican Church in North America” Lorna Ashworth Summary It is my desire to give Synod an opportunity to hear about the unfair treatment of people who have continued to maintain the Anglican faith in doctrine, practice and worship, and to express their continuing fellowship with them as loyal Anglicans. An estimated $30 million has been spent on property litigation, and 491 clergy inhibited or deposed across the spectrum of church traditions. This includes the deposition of Bishop Bob Duncan of Pittsburgh, Bishop Henry Scriven and Dr James Packer, and the personal difficulties caused by the bringing of legal proceedings against laypeople. (Details of the Anglican Church in North America can be found on www.anglicanchurch-na.org ) For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to emphasize that the genesis of this motion lies entirely with myself in discussion with a handful of friends who are members of this Synod. Neither I nor others have been asked to bring this motion by representatives of ACNA. They have simply supplied information on request. The motion This motion is not about interfering in the polity of other Anglican provinces. But a series of decisions by two Anglican provinces over an extended period of time that have resulted in the exclusion of many Anglicans from their churches, the deposition of scores of faithful Anglican priests and bishops who are priests and bishops of the Church of God, has had knock-on effects elsewhere in the Communion.
