Council meetings commence with worship and prayer as members seek God’s blessing on their deliberations and seek to discern God’s will for the Anglican Church in Southern Queensland. Following membership changes after the 2017 Synod elections, 2018 was a year in which new Diocesan Council members settled into their roles and the Council continued to address the challenges facing the Anglican Church in Southern Queensland. Central to Diocesan Council’s governance activities were: • Ongoing engagement with the Commissions, approving their strategic plans and receiving reports on their implementation. • Strategic discussions around parish data analysis and actions required to help parishes flourish, including discussions on the parish growth framework, leadership development and linking parish property decisions more closely to mission plans. • Final implementation of the governance and shared services review undertaken in 2017. • Approving a revised risk management policy to suit the new structure and continuing to monitor key risk and compliance areas. • Continuing to address policies for safer ministry and responding to claims relating to child sexual abuse, particularly in the context of the introduction of the National Redress Scheme. Following implementation of the governance and shared services review, three key operating areas for the Diocese have emerged: Diocesan Operations, Community Services/Anglicare (CSC) and Schools / Early Childhood Services (ASC). Diocesan Operations refers to the areas of operation most closely aligned to contributing to parish health and flourishing: the Archbishop and Regional Bishops, the General Manager’s Office, FDSC, PMC and MEC. 8 Diocesan Council has engaged with how the activities of Diocesan Operations can be more closely focussed on supporting ministry in parishes and other agencies. This includes consideration of how the other operating areas of the Diocese contribute to this, particularly Schools / Early Childhood Services. The outlook for Diocesan Council in 2019 has started with consideration of three key focus areas: • Renewing and reforming culture and traditions • Parish Health • Resourcing & Sustainability. Renewing & Reforming Culture & Traditions – This area focuses on our culture and traditions and how these may be renewed or reformed to help us all share in God’s mission in the Diocese. We are challenged to look to what has been compelling about Anglicanism through history and how that is translated to our current time. It challenges us to be both faithful to God and to our culture and those traditions and effective in how we express them today. This links closely into the key area of focus in parish health (below). Examples of actions: • Developing and implementing an 18-30s strategy based on being faithful and effective • Reviewing and renewing the vision for Anglican Schools • Justice policy and advocacy Parish Health – Focuses on developing and implementing a parish growth framework: • Centred on leadership, strategy and resources • An agreed approach to measuring parish health • Discerning actions and strategies for parishes to collaborate with each other • Providing support for the wellbeing of our leaders. Other actions include: • Establishing a leadership development framework for ACSQ for ordained and lay leaders • Identifying and developing flexibly delivered ministry education offerings for clergy and lay people that empower them to share their faith • Developing and implementing a whole of Church model to embed safe ministry in our Church culture. Resourcing & Sustainability – FDSC has developed a detailed strategic plan and road map over 2019–21 centred on resourcing our mission imaginatively and sustainably. Diocesan Council has also stated its intention that the Diocesan budget return to balance in 2021. Significant investment has been made to develop capabilities and resources to provide the services that can assist parishes to flourish. The key strategic challenge is whether 9 we can sustainably afford the capabilities and resources that have been developed
