Household Diversity
In its deliberations, the group has considered demographic trends and the future of the institutional church, in particular the steady numeric decline of those who attend and financially support it. The group feels that it is critical to meet the express needs of baby-boomers and "generation-X-ers" to have a relational focus as opposed to an institutional one, to offer flexibility in styles of worship, and to attempt to address secular culture in terms that folks are more likely to respond to.
Accommodate Diversity
Households of Faith can accommodate diversity of churchmanship whether evangelical, charismatic, Anglo-Catholic, and so on. Household groups can be constituted in many different ways to satisfy widely divergent interests and styles. Their precise shape and self-identification is always "contextual." The development group has worked hard to figure out how best to articulate this vision and to develop the appropriate tools to support its implementation. Walking the Board through some of the committee's documentation, Ron described how the household would work within the context of the Episcopal and parish structure.
"Household Diversity would encourage household experience."
