Mission in Dublin and Glendalough
Praying for Growth in Dublin and Glendalough.
The Mission Sub Committee is a committee of Diocesan Council. Its ambition is to promote a sense of the priority and urgency of mission in all its aspects as outlined by the Anglican Communion’s 5 Marks of Mission and to make mission a central part of the life of the dioceses. Mission is who we are, and it needs to be at the centre of everything that we do in Dublin and Glendalough.
Our aims are:
- to promote effective models of mission, evangelism and renewal;
- to initiate and encourage pioneer ministry which will further the mission of the church;
- to maintain close relationship with other bodies concerned with mission at home and overseas;
- to foster interest in members of the Church of Ireland serving in other parts of the world; to facilitate mission interchange visits to and from Ireland;
- to encourage reflection on the theology of mission;
- to promote good ecumenical relationships in the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough, including involvement in and promotion of ecumenical events; and in conjunction with the archbishop, to establish, develop and maintain partnerships with other bodies including, in particular, other Anglican dioceses;
- to encourage efforts to reach out to and assist the marginalised, financially challenged and isolated within our congregations and beyond.
