Hi all,<br><br>Please look at these draft aims and objectives and get back to me with any suggested changes ASAP. I want to bring them to Saturday's GA for approval. They are in response to Bishop Steven's request for specific ideas of what we want before the meeting with cathedral and church leaders on Monday. <br>
<br>This draft was developed at the GA on Tuesday with amendments by those who have seen it since.<br><br>Should we also ask for discussions on Bishop Steven's 8 points in all local churches including the cathedral ?<br>
