Message from St. Dunstan’s Victoria, BC

Here are the attributes we would want our church to have both now and ten years from now.

A church which is:

  • Spirit filled
  • Growing
  • Attractive to and has young people
  • Relevant
  • Responsive
  • Reaching out to the needs of others both within and outside of the faith community
  • A vibrant community of Christ
  • Feeding its people
  • Financially solvent and is able to give lots away to those who need it
  • Welcoming
  • Happy
  • Telling people about Jesus without reservation
  • Positive

I would add from my perspective: a church which is engaged ecumenically, listening to other voices in the Anglican Communion and other traditions of the Catholic Church, and sending and receiving people in mission and through our companion diocese relationships.

Blessings

The Rev. Canon John Steele,
St. Dunstan’s Victoria, B.C.
