Evangelism Project
The Household of Faith is a new approach to church growth based on the Early Church model of the extended Christian household. It is intended to be an extension of the local church that trains and nourishes Christians and is mandated to divide and double its membership every two years. It is a model of relational evangelism. Chairperson of the development group, for the Diocese's evangelism project, Ron Meacock, introduced himself and fellow committee member Andrew Graham and distributed sets of documentation relating to the Households of Faith, the group's proposal for home-based parish evangelism.
Anglican Article
In April, The Anglican will carry an article describing the project. The development group is preparing a manual that will be used as a guide for parishes who choose to participate in the project. The history of the project and its philosophical underpinnings were outlined by Ron. Some of the original impetus came simply from the felt need to better equip parishes for evangelism. Consideration of the possible consequences of residential schools litigation to traditional church life in some dioceses, particularly the Diocese of Caribou, lent a sense of urgency in developing contingency plans for the provision of "church" without buildings.
