This webpage is for the people of the Toronto Conference for story sharing and networking. |
Networking with the Spirit A Proposal,
To identify the activity of the Spirit
in our midst in as many ways as possible, so that we can celebrate, learn. and
support one another in being a part of what the Spirit is bringing to life.
This person or group will be
responsible to do three things:
One: Invite presbyters to identify any programㄴ or initiatives within their churches
that are bearing fruit, by identifying the natures of the activity, the time of
the activity. and the leader(s) of the program. Two: Obtain permission from the program
leaders to have their activity or initiative listed in a flyer, for the purpose
of offering people the opportunity to visit the program to see it in action1
(show and tell) and the opportunity to invite a leader to come and dialogue
with another group about the program they are involved with (circuit rider). A flyer listing these opportunities will
be created by the end of
January 2003 and in the spring (by the end of May 2003) and distributed to Presbyters to
distribute to their congregations. The flyers are also to be e-mailed to
Toronto Conference where they will collated and e-mailed to the conference
e-mail list so that people can be aware of what is happening throughout the
conference and have the opportunity to network conference - wide. Three: Attend meeting in the fall with
other Presbytery contact people:
The thought is to host a two day event in
spring for Presbytery Contact Teams, Program One: To spend a morning getting
acquainted and sharing in inspirational worship which will utilize the gifts of
those who attend. Two: To invite a guest speaker /workshop
leader who had proven stills in areas that are critical to facilitating change
within the church (e.g. facilitation skills. conflict resolution skills,
strategic planning skills, financial development skills, etc.) Three: To provide time for people to
network in groups of their own choosing (e.g. alternative worship, small
groups, age related programs, lay pastoral care, etc.). Four: To provide the time and opportunity
to party together with food, drink, music, and other spiritually riotous
behaviours.
