  • Serving with Accountability - 2019
    Serving with Accountability - 2019 2015 was the first year that we tried to incorporate the ‘serving with accountability’ dimension of ‘Transforming Presence’ alongside a slimmed down format for the Archdeacons’ Articles of Enquiry. As you know, the vision expressed in ‘Transforming Presence’ makes spirituality and evangelism two clear priorities in the life of the church, along with the need to re-imagine ministry. Nevertheless. there needs to be some means whereby this is joined together – hence the importance of serving with accountability. Every PCC is being invited to do a ‘self-audit’ in the light of the themes of ‘Transforming Presence’. The set of questions below will help you in that task. It is not intended that PCCs should cover all nine in any one year, but you may wish to look at the two or three areas where the church is doing well or to identify any weaknesses that are felt to be a hindrance to the church's mission. You should aim to consider each of the nine questions at some point over the next few years. Once you have conducted this year’s exercise, please let us have some notes of your discussions. It would be good if you could also review last year’s response as well, so that progress can be celebrated and new challenges identified. If they have asked you to do this, please send these to your archdeacon by 30th November, 2019. Many thanks for your help in this, The Ven. Elwin Cockett - Archdeacon of West Ham The Ven. Vanessa Herrick - Archdeacon of Harlow The Ven.
