Right now I see the Anglican Church starting to come into its own. We’re really starting to “get it” where it comes to reaching out to young people. As dire as the need is for spreading the Gospel abroad, the need at our own doorsteps is just as great. So many children (especially those in good families) don’t hear the Gospel in any way, shape or form, so it’s important for the focus of our mission to be balanced between local and global.
Our baby boomers, who make up the majority of the population are going to be quite elderly by then and our young people desperately need reassurance of a loving God and eternal life in Christ, so I think by 2019 our main message should definitely be one of hope for something tangible that we can picture and understand.
