MISSION AT ALL LEVELS: MEASUREABLE DELIVERABLES

or the first time, at least in recent memory, the
General Convention budget placed mission at
its forefront, both literally and spiritually, by
adopting the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion as its organizing principle.
One of the budget’s important
missional realities is that it expects
measurable deliverables. The
churchwide staff is expected to
produce results. The women and
men who work at the churchwide
level were invigorated and inspired
by the challenge. They set about
to build partnerships with every
diocese of The Episcopal Church.
