Future Church Task Force Update         August 11, 2014  The Diocese of San Diego has embarked on a diocesan-wide discernment and restructuring endeavor led by the newly formed Future Church Task Force. The goal is to create a strong, innovative structure for the diocese as we move into a new way of being the Church.  This new structure must exercise good stewardship of the resources entrusted to us as we adapt to twenty-first century ministry.  The discernment team (the Very Rev. Rebecca McClain, the Rev. Judith Allison, the Rev. Michael Stone and Mr. James Stiven) will begin working with the first group of churches, Mission Area Four. The churches in Mission Area Four are: St. Anne's, Oceanside; St. Michael's, Carlsbad; All Saints', Vista; St. Andrew's, Encinitas; Grace, San Marcos; and Holy Cross, Carlsbad.  The discernment team begins work this month and will continue through the fall. If you have any questions about the process, please see our page of Frequently Asked Questions or contact one of the task force members.  Your prayers for all involved are appreciated.
