Peter is a great speaker and this opening address for the Sydney Diocese's Synod is a great sell for their Connect 09 plans to contact everyone in Sydney.
Along the way, Peter touches on a whole range of ways that think and plan and change for the good of the gospel mission. Including:
- Serve good coffee (the smell of coffee in church buildings is 'evangelical incense').
- Get the church researching the outside community.
- The possibility of a local mission society (especially for the spiritual 'deserts' and 'lost tribes' of Sydney).
I love the idea of a year-long mission push. It makes us consider things that we just can't consider in a month of mission each year in a local church.
It's good stuff. Much of it should be seized by Tasmanians for our mission here.
