Overview Being Disciples Proclaiming Gospel in Word and in Deed About the Acts and Activities Encouragement to Parishes

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
(St. Matthew 11:29)

We are a learning church

A disciple is a pupil of Jesus, always learning his ways and living in him. Learning in faith is more about formation more than information. We are shaped spiritually as we grow. We cherish the joy of discovery and seek deepening fascination with the scriptures and Christian traditions.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls (St. Matthew 11:29).

It is impossible to be a Christian alone. At its heart, Christianity is about relationship: with God—Who as a Trinity of Persons is always already in relationship internally—and with neighbour. Having a community of practice that delights in learning together in the spirit of mutuality helps. The Learning Church is about mutual learning with the overall aim of fostering spiritual growth and discipleship so that we all can proclaim the Gospel in word and in deed.

Discipleship in the Spirit requires learning, practice, discipline (“Yielding to the Life of the Spirit,” Bishop’s Charge To Synod, 2021.)
