Melbourne Anglicans Together Inc is a group of Anglicans in the Diocese of Melbourne committed, within the context of the faith of the church to

· affirming and strengthening the diversity of traditions throughout the Diocese of Melbourne, as expressed in Resolution 13 of the 2001 Diocesan Synod;

· strengthening critical and open-minded thought and theology in the Diocese;

· deepening understanding of how the Church can be authentic in its contemporary environment;

· a Church that values fully leadership by people who are lay and ordained, female and male;

In pursuit of those things to which it is committed, Melbourne Anglicans Together Inc will—

· provide opportunities for clergy and laity to learn about, encounter and discuss contemporary issues in theology and church life;

· create opportunities to build our community through worship;

· encourage leaders within the Church who are open-minded, independent and prepared to speak with honesty and candour;

· consider openly, independently and prayerfully issues requiring decision within the Diocese.

b) notes the spiritual health of the Diocese is strengthened by its diversity; and
c) encourages the fostering of diversity as a positive contribution towards the 2020 Vision for growth and development in the diocese.
