Promulgation initiatives

On 27 July 2003 Archbishop John Bathersby, after careful consideration of the recommendations presented to him by the Synod Assembly on 4 May 2003, announced implementation measures that he was initiating or calling for. The summary and full text of his address is on www.bne.catholic.net.au/lyls. Some of the highlights are:

  • The preparation of this vision, priorities and planning document as the vehicle to guide the implementation of the Jesus Communion Mission vision and the nine archdiocesan priorities.

  • The redirection of substantial archdiocesan funds for up to five years to assist parishes and deaneries to implement the archdiocesan vision and priorities promulgated as a result of Synod.

  • Representative gathering of key people in the Archdiocese in 2008 to review progress on implementation of archdiocesan vision and priorities.

  • Each parish/deanery to develop a plan to address the Jesus Communion Mission vision and the archdiocesan priorities.

  • Refocusing the structures and energies of archdiocesan bodies and agencies on implementation of Synod priorities, particularly in support of parishes and deaneries.

  • Archdiocesan support for a number of specific initiatives related to each of the Synod priorities eg visiting speakers on particular topics, formation programs, small group discussion resources, appointment of staff in key roles, preparation for and implementation of new pastoral leadership roles.

  • Archbishop’s challenge that the vision and priorities are for everyone and every group, all of whom must ask: how can I, how can we act on these in our own circumstances, using the strategies in the Broad Action Proposals as a starting point?
