The
Mission and Vision of The Diocese
MISSION: The purpose of the Diocese
of Western Massachusetts is to carry
on Christ's work of transformation
and reconciliation. We work and pray
together to develop healthy mission
focused Christians and congregations
who live the fullness of the Baptismal
Covenant wherever God places us. (Bishop
and Council 1997) VISION: We are becoming evermore recognizable
as the Body of Christ. We are learning
and growing together as a community
of miraculous expectation, utterly
dependent on God, fully gifted by the
Holy Spirit, joyously living Christ's
Great Commandment and Great Commission
in Western Massachusetts and the world.
(Convention 1999)
The Diocese of Western Massachusetts is
one church united in living and proclaiming
the Good News of God in Christ through
67 unique mission outposts. God's yearning
and our yearning is that we may know
Christ, live Christ and make Christ known
together. (Convention 2000) |
