Way Forward

The meaning of the word ‘Advent’ is that of a coming or an arrival. The whole focus of the season of Advent is the celebration of the birth of Christ (the first Advent) and the expectation of the return of Christ (the second Advent). This season celebrates the truth about God in the coming of Christ

Thousands of people have engaged with the Way Forward project’s face-to-face and online district information gatherings around the LCANZ, the final three of which are being held in New Zealand over the next week.

In the wake of the release of the Way Forward Detailed Framework, LCANZ members have attended local information sessions in encouraging numbers. More than 500 people have attended the seven face-to-face gatherings held so far.

Almost 70 people met in a spirit of mutual respect at Cummins in South Australia on Sunday, for the first face-to-face gathering of the Preparation and Prayer phase of the LCANZ’s Way Forward project.

In June, the General Church Board and the College of Bishops resolved to remove the Conference component from the Way Forward proposed framework.
