Pioneering Parishes Beatitudes
Do pioneers and parishes need each other?

At Pioneering Parishes, we are persuaded that pioneers and parishes need each other.
But the dynamics between pioneers and advocates are often challenging and disruptive. To foster better understanding and coloration in mission, Rev Greg Bakker and Rev Tina Hodgett, leaders of Pioneering Parishes, have created the beatitudes for pioneers and priests.
Last year, on our blog we featured a series on the Pioneering Parishes Beatitudes. Beginning with an introduction and then looking at each beatitude in more detail. You can see all the posts here:
- Introduction to Pioneering Parishes beatitudes
- Aspiring to be our best
- Show interest
- More in common than you might think…
- Equality…
- Think Win/Win
- Journey Together
- Practise the Better Way
Now we have put together the beatitudes into one download. Making it easy to share them with your priest or pioneer and see if you can support each other to be who you each aspire to be for God and your community?
If you would like support in working with either a priest or pioneer, Pioneering Parishes can help. Take a look at our training courses or get in touch with us via the link at the bottom of this page.
