Review

A plan of action is often only as effective as the processes of implementation, monitoring and review that support it.

It is therefore proposed that Let Your Light Shine be supported by a cycle of implementation and review, overseen by the Archbishop and Council of Priests and led by the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council working with other bodies as appropriate.

Key Date - 2011

While the Synod was directed towards planting seeds for the continuing growth of a vibrant local Church for the new millennium, 2011 is the expected retirement date of Archbishop John Bathersby. It is therefore an appropriate deadline for the achievement of major goals, and a significant time for reflecting on progress.

Major Review - 2008

The Archbishop has proposed that, in relation to the implementation of the archdiocesan vision and priorities, a gathering of representatives from around the Archdiocese is held in 2008 to review progress, acknowledge achievements and recommend adjustments to implementation.

Responsibility for the organisation of the review will rest with the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council, under the oversight of the Archbishop and Council of Priests.

Ongoing Review

Within the principle of ‘flexibility with responsibility’ it is proposed that each body in the Archdiocese monitor its progress regularly and make adaptations when warranted.

A two-step process of review is proposed:
  • Complete a self-evaluation questionnaire for own use, reflection and action each year.
  • [Free download here (pdf 175kb)]

  • Report to the Archbishop and Council of Priests through the APC in 2005 and 2007 on the implementation of the Jesus Communion Mission vision and the nine archdiocesan priorities.
It is further envisaged that those with significant pastoral and organisational responsibilities would discuss current plans with other leaders within their communities and/or organisations as a part of regular, ongoing support, communication and accountability.
