Themes of survey asillustrated by quotes fromanswers to:SurveyResponses Strengths / Challenges of thediocese

Themes illustrated by quotes fromsurvey – Strengths of diocese “The clergy are increasingly diverse.We've managed to stay together throughthe culture wars that have split otherdioceses, so we have an appreciation ofdifferences but recognize the importanceof unity. We have a great many laity whoare committed to diocesan ministry. “ “Our Diocese has shown awillingness/longing to stay together evenwhen views on charged issues havecovered a range of opinions.” “This is a diocese of worship. For the mostpart we are willing to pull on the sameoar. Diversity is growing.” “We weathered recent tumultuous yearswith grace. Each previous bishop hasoffered different strengths and gifts whichhave helped weave a resilient fabric.Many loving laity and clergy offer theirgifts and talents sacrificially.” “The work of the Gravatt ConferenceCenter, through conferences andsummer camp ministry, is a tremendousgift that has continues to bless untoldnumbers of people. Its ministry should becelebrated and expanded.”

Themes illustrated by quotes fromsurvey – Challenges of diocese “Division between Columbia and rest ofDiocese. Not really owning our missionstatement. Lack of excitement aboutthe ministry of the diocese. “ “I would like to have a Bishop who caresabout the Diaconate and has workedclosely with active Deacons in thepast.” “Obviously, the decline in membershipand the associated fall inrevenue.leadership at the diocesanlevel.dealing with the pandemic“ “Recovery from the pandemic. Gettingback to a "normal" schedule for servicesand gatherings. Monetary impact ofjoblessness on churches income.“ “The church is aging and dying, weneed active growth. We have littlediversity and are often considered veryexclusive.“ “I have had very limited involvementwith the diocese. I would like to bemore engaged but am limited in myknowledge base.“

Themes of survey asillustrated by quotes fromanswers to:SurveyResponses What is God calling us to be?

Themes illustrated by quotes fromsurvey – What is God calling us to be? “I believe that we are to be a peoplewho are empowered, through thegraces found in Word and Sacrament, tobring the world around us to theknowledge and love of Christ Jesus. Thisis our mission today and on into thefuture.” “An example of a church that honors itstraditions and reaches out to care forthose in need” “I believe that God is calling us to electa new bishop who will workcollaboratively with his or her clergy andlay leaders, not imposing their agendaon them, but prayerfully seeking to be afaithful servant, who inspires theirdiocese to be more Christlike, in itsfaithfulness to Holy Scriptures, and inproclaiming the good news of salvationto a world that is hungry for healing andnew direction.”

Themes illustrated by quotes fromsurvey – What is God calling us to be? “I believe our Diocese is called to use the resources gifted to us for the furthering of the kingdom inour context. In that, we should be creative and empower those with ideas, visions, and gifts. Weshould make a commitment to the cultivation and development of young adult initiatives, like theEpiscopal Service Corp models that have had such great success across the country. We shouldreinvest in youth initiatives and ministries. But mostly, as I think more deeply, we need to approachlife together from a missional posture. We need to be focused on who and what God is calling ustowards instead of just the business of balanced budgets and numbers.”

Weneed a bishop who will be focused firston our diocese and willing to spendmore time in the parishes andconvocations and less time in DiocesanHouse.” “That we can be a challenging groupbecause of our diverse views onreligion, politics and social issues, butthat this also presents a greatopportunity for a bishop who is able tobring us together so that we can reachour true potential.”

We need a trueleader who becomes involved andparticipates. The parishes are losingmembers and not retaining youngsters.” “In the face of unrest, this diocese hasremained inclusive, collaborative and"peaceful." We may not always agree,but we don't "tear down the house"when we don’t. We are a diversediocese. There are congregations andministries of all sizes and kinds -- rural,urban, suburban and mission. Weprovide all kinds of worship fromtraditional to contemporary. This is adiocese where you can find a placethat suits your needs. We are smallenough that we can get to know eachother beyond our congregations.”
