Act2 Report: In Response to God’s Call
Act2: In Response to God’s Call is the newest report of the Act2 Project and is now available.
Act2: In Response to God’s Call is the first Act2 report since the decisions of the 16th Assembly and the creation of the Act2 Project Unit and Steering Committee in late 2022. It emerges from one of the most comprehensive and ambitious direct consultation processes the Assembly has ever undertaken, drawing from a deep well of insight gathered through our engagement over the past six months.
This report includes:
• A summary of what we did and what we heard during the Exploration Phase (November 2022 to May 2023).
• A theological reflection on the Exploration Phase.
• An introduction to the Collective Discernment Phase (current phase - June 2023 to November 2023).
• A set of directions for Workstream 1: Local Communities of Faith and Discipleship.
• A set of four different options for Workstream 3: Governance and Resourcing.
The opportunity to respond to the Act2 report has now closed. New opportunities to engage will arise ahead of the 17th Assembly in 2024. Find them on this page.
