 We are happy to present “Onward Together” the emerging plan for Community of Christ in Canada, drawn from the ideas, testimonies, and dialogue gathered in the All Voices discernment. Diverse stakeholders who share in the church’s identity and mission across Canada have been sharing what matters most: why they are committed to Community of Christ as well as their concerns and hopes for our future. “Onward Together” organizes what we have heard into five statements about our identity, activities, mission, and values as a sacred community. Most of the ideas shared in the statements will not sound new: for example, our commitment to camping, retreats, and reunions or our focus on peace and justice initiatives. After all, these are the things we have been talking about together in All Voices. Some aspects may sound less familiar as we have not all been able to hear everything that has been said during the discernment process. For this reason, we have scheduled a Canada-wide gathering this Saturday with Apostle Art Smith to hear more about “Onward Together,” to ask questions and to receive clarification. The gathering will begin the next phase of the discernment process as more voices are heard and the strategic plan for Community of Christ in Canada becomes fully formed. We hope you will read and ponder the “Onward Together” statements and join us Saturday to hear more and to share your thoughts in dialogue and community.
