  42. Vision The Episcopal Diocese of Dallas will be one church, a unified community of transformation, driven by a mission to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, gather in the unchurched and reach out to those in need. The diocese will be grounded in the Word and sacrament, faithful celebration of liturgy, and orthodox teaching. It will have a clear Episcopal identity centered in the office of the bishop, an ethnically diverse membership, educated and engaged youth, laity and clergy. The diocese will attract, develop and retain younger, well-prepared and diverse clergy. The clergy of the diocese will be mission-focused for their congregations and the diocese and will be transformational leaders as well. The laity will be active and committed disciples of Jesus, will use their spiritual gifts in service and will experience a deeper relationship with the diocese, its congregations and parishioners.

  43. Vision (continued) The office of the bishop will be a resource to the congregations and people of the diocese as they develop and implement plans to achieve the vision and mission of the diocese. The office of the bishop will communicate the vision and work with church leaders to develop strategies to realize the vision, including establishing goals and objectives and effective ways to measure progress toward achieving the vision. The office of the bishop will promote collaboration, communication, and sharing of spiritual, intellectual, material and technological resources. The Episcopal Diocese of Dallas will be driven by a mission to know Jesus and to make him known, doing all he commanded, so that an ever-increasing number of people will experience his transforming power.
