The Anglican Church of Canada should be prepared to be “turned inside out” and to be a church that gives birth to a Spirit-led “people’s movements at all levels,” said the Rev. Dr. Christopher Duraisingh, a noted South Indian theologian.
Duraisingh, who is a professor at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., spoke about mission at the meeting of the Council of General Synod (CoGS) during its meeting Nov. 15 to 18.
Duraisingh was invited to help CoGS members reflect on what direction the church might take in response to its ongoing challenges with diminishing revenues and declining membership. He will also be the keynote speaker at the July 2013 Joint Anglican-Lutheran Assembly in Ottawa.

Yeah, I pretty much rolled my eyes when I was read that. At least that is a definable buzzword, unlike “missional” or “people’s movements at all levels” (whatever on earth that is…) November 24, 10:32 pm | [comment link] |

Ah yes, having buzzwords a plenty will certainly fix a church whose membership is going into the toilet.
