Dear Michael,
"‘felt’ more calm and respectful than in previous years"
I wonder why that was no surprise to you.
Could it be part of the cultural shifting that you hope for?
Is there a "Next Meeting" for all of those that got into the 14 Action
Plans?
Greetings from Berlin

A few weeks ago Brendan McKeague and Michael Wood co-facilitated what
might be the largest ever Open Space in Australia (certainly with a
church group) when the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane took the step of
hosting most of the first day of Synod (the annual large gathering of
representatives of Anglican parishes, schools and other organisations)
for 6 hours in Open Space. 450 people attended around a very spacious
question, ‘what is God calling us to be and do at this time’. Three
sessions of 1.5 hours each led to the posting of 56 conversation topics
and 14 action plans. One of the interesting pieces of feedback at the
end of Synod is that the remainder of Synod (which is conducted in a
traditional Westminster Parliament format) ‘felt’ more calm and
respectful that in previous years – no surprises there. Although it’s
early days the whole thing felt to me like an opening up of new
possibility about the way we meet in the church and I personally hope it
might be part of a cultural shift starting to happen. Time will tell.
