On Sunday 10th September Bishop Philip Egan published his Pastoral Letter to be read in all churches and chapels of the Diocese of Portsmouth on 10th September 2023, the Twenty-Third Sunday of the Year.
In it he launched the Publication of You Will Be My Witnesses – Our Ten-Year Mission Plan
You Will Be My Witnesses has resulted from two years of research and consultation across the Diocese and beyond. The Plan identifies three main objectives for the Diocese for the next decade which include: to be a Christ-centred Church; to be a missionary community; to be prudent stewards of Christ’s Church.
You Will Be My Witnesses is a blueprint for Portsmouth Diocese, detailing the collective effort required to create a Diocese in better shape, internally healed and renewed, with new faces, young families, more vocations and a harvest from ecclesial movements.
All are encouraged to view or read the documents (please click on the links, blue writing).
