In 2019, our Diocese of Guildford will be focusing on the first goal in its Transforming Church, Transforming Lives mission programme.

“Discipleship is not so much an activity as a state of being: a watchful, attentive openness to God in every moment.” (Rowan Williams, Being Disciples) At the same time, being disciples and making disciples are inextricably linked. In 2015, CMS brought together a team of practitioners and practical theologians and set up the Beautiful Witness project with the aim of capturing stories from those involved in ministries through which people became disciples of Christ.
