Setting Sail with Genesis Compass: A letter from New Zealand

When our SLT gave our ‘yes’ to begin Genesis Compass, we had been working together for about 18 months and were at the stage of launching our parish vision. Admittedly, it was a challenge for us to schedule the first four weekly meetings, but we were able to make it work, and after our first session of Genesis Compass, we were all looking forward to meeting again the following week. The timing of Genesis Compass was very providential. Our regular meetings prior to Genesis Compass were focused on forming and articulating our vision. At the time of starting Genesis Compass, our meetings were focused on discussing the strategy of how we were going to launch and cast that vision.
