The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele
The welcoming crisis - with Peter Mayrick and Jessica Brouwer
There’s a key problem in Sydney’s Anglican churches with a drop in the number of newcomers.
The trend is downwards across the board. It’s massively concerning. In 2013, the Diocesan mission set a goal to raise the number of newcomers to Church to 12% by 2020. However, as of September 2019, it is looking like we will fall well short of this goal.
There’s a new report out this week, featuring interviews with churches that are overall doing better at welcoming first time newcomers and welcoming returnees to church life.
We have a vulnerable/soft underbelly conversation about our weaknesses with Peter Mayrick from Sydney’s Center for Ministry Development and Jessica Brouwer, Mission Pastor at Village Church, Sydney.
