We recognise the need for a clear sense of our identity and deep roots but also the imperative to present the gospel afresh in our generation in a world city that struggles to comprehend where its own well-being might lie and how the Christian faith could be relevant.
And so the Church in the Diocese of London assembled in Synod on November 25th 2006 to make the following seven commitments.
1. We are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in 21st century London
2. We are committed to equipping the servants of Jesus Christ
3. We are committed to telling the story of Jesus Christ afresh for this generation and especially for the young
4. We are committed to serving London and all her people.
5. We are committed to expressing God's Love in our World City.
6. We are committed to making four Capital Investments
7. We are committed to generating the resources in finance and property to enable the church to respond adequately to the London Challenge

How come London is the only diocese doing this sort of thing?
2012 ambassadord for Jesus Christ under the age of 35 by 2012 sounds a huge commitment - but when you spread it across a diocese of almost 500 churches it is quite doable. Especially when you scroll through all the links on the site and discover that one church (st Stephen's Twickenham) can happily muster 9 potential ordinands for a training day.
Surely Chelmsford could be as bold ...
