  6. Lessons ‘New Wine’ has been learning • Spiritual vitality and a missional heart are inseparably linked • Encourage ‘strategic leadership’ in local Churches • It’s about the Body! • Evangelism and Social Action go hand-in-hand • Authenticity is more important than size or form • Healthy connectedness releases life • Stay open to God’s whispers and recklessly experiment

  7. ‘God is Sovereign! The Holy Spirit doesn’t appear to have read the rubrics…’ Bishop John V Taylor

  8. Holy Spirit Breaks through stale, ghetto thinking and releases creative, Holy Imagination “Live openly and expansively!” (2 Corinthians 6: 11 – 12) (MSG)

  9. Eyes of Faith Caleb “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” (Numbers 13: 30)

  10. New Wine • Of the ‘lessons that New Wine has been learning’ identified in the presentation, which most caught your interest? Are there perhaps 2 of these lessons which the Diocesan Synod might want to ask parishes to give particular attention? • Given the diversity of ecclesiology across our Diocese, in what ways might partnering with the New Wine Networks be another source for releasing fresh ‘missional’ life and initiatives? 13
