The vision we are called to follow is the vision God gives us in Jesus Christ. We need no other.

It is this vision of a new and redeemed humanity that has sustained me throughout my ministry, and it is the vision that must sustain the whole Church, in every place and in every age. I am committed to doing all I can to ensure that this remains so.

For the 2020s, the Church of England described this as being a Christ-centred, and Jesus Christ-shaped church. A simpler, humbler and bolder church. Through Faith in the North, I am seeking to work out what this means for us through a renewal of prayer, storytelling and church planting inspired by the witness of the Northern Saints.
