What the Diocese says...

... about Mission (Op. Cit.).

Most Churches will tell you they want to improve their work with
children and families. However, recognising the principle that your
system is perfectly designed to achieve the results you are
currently achieving implies that some change will be necessary to
reach that goal. The values of a community will be exposed when
these sorts of changes are put into effect. Often change reveals
that a community’s real values are more to do with keeping things
just the way we like them!

A Church may say that growth is important to them but other
things may be more important at an emotional level. Sometimes
the values of a Church can only be addressed through systematic
teaching and loving leadership. Sadly, many folk in our pews
haven’t grasped the mission imperative and they need help to see it. Others will need loving re-assurance that their spiritualities are
not being dismissed in a scramble to be innovative and successful.

...

Most of the changes that happen in churches and lead to growth
are about the culture and values of the church before they are
about activity. Mere extra activity without addressing the culture
that has inhibited growth is unlikely to be fruitful.
