“Do you feel a personal calling to mission that doesn’t seem to align with traditional approaches in the Church?”
“Do you sense God inviting the Church to explore more creative approaches to mission but feel uncertain about the steps to take?”
“Are you involved in a new or innovative form of mission and seeking a community of support and fresh inspiration to sustain or expand your ministry?”
All people who feel called to innovative mission by the Holy Spirit are invited to take part in this exciting new conference, which aims to equip Anglicans and other Christians — both lay and ordained — to understand and engage with the need for imaginative and sustainable mission within our Church.
Over a Thursday evening and a full Saturday, participants will learn about and be equipped with the skills needed to develop and implement the elements needed for a healthy ecology:
- Instilling a missional imagination in both local & diocesan contexts.
- Learning to constantly listen, understand & respond to culture.
- Adapting current Church structures to empower mission at the local and diocesan level.
The sessions will include brief TED-style talks, discussion panels, and group activities related to each of the three main themes, that aim to inspire greater local practice and innovation for the missionally-minded. Guest speakers, panel moderators and workshop leaders will include a diverse array of practiced missioners, theologians and faith leaders from across Canada.
If you are a person who has felt called to mission by the Holy Spirit, the Missional Imagination Conference wants to inspire you, guide you and connect you to the wider network of missioners in Canada.
