In a world that often feels unstable and uncertain, where people are often fearful and looking for hope, the Bible tells the story of individuals, often overlooked or underestimated, who are called from obscurity, imperfection and even brokenness to become vessels for God’s transforming work. From Genesis through to Revelation, Scripture repeatedly reveals the impact and power of one life lived for God and empowered by His Word and Spirit.
Our vision across the Diocese is Transformed by Christ: Prayerful, Pastoral and Prophetic. It is a big vision which is rooted in something very small: the belief that, by the grace of God, one heart transformed by Christ, living in the purposes of the Holy Spirit, is sufficient to transform another life, a whole family, a school, workplace, market town, urban estate, rural village or coastal community.
Transformed hearts transform hearts. Transformed communities transform communities.
Work on our Diocesan plan to see this vision become a reality continue to progress well, We would like to offer you the chance to help actively shape our future.
Prayer underpins this whole process and work. The Bishop of Norwich, the Rt Revd Graham Usher, encourages us to pray for mission and ministry across Norfolk and Waveney in our life together. This includes a prayer to share with your church community and use together.
Our Vision Prayer for our Life Together
(Please do share with your church communities)
Christ of transformation,
sow deep into the soil
of our hearts and parishes,
your seeds of prayerful listening,
conversation and discernment:
then nurture their growth, we pray,
with the gentle rains of your Spirit
that they may flower and fruit
into new ways of revealing
the abundant life you offer
and long for us to share.
Amen
