What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?

Some in the Church no longer wanting to offer Table Hospitality to all.
Some not wanting to continue in conversation.
The greying of our membership and not offering something that connects with those under 45 years of age.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?

Being able to offer radical hospitality and radical equality to ALL of God's children. The ability to offer liturgy and fellowship with new fresh expressions. Truly live out the Via Media of our branch of Catholicism. We can share with the world one of the best expressions of Christianity in new and exciting ways.

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?

I would love for all of us to be able to share what is working in our congregations around church growth and renewal with one another. We could also use this media for advice and consultation with one another.
