Diocese of Salford - Department for Formation

Fr Jon and Michele  will give an introduction to Genesis Mission and share how you can get involved.

Cathedral Centre

As part of Stage 4 of Hope in the Future, it is our intention to focus explicitly on missionary discipleship. By this we mean an integration of a newly formed or deepened missionary attitude, with practical tools and ways to share the Gospel sensitively and appropriately in everyday life. Having looked at various options to help get this started, we have teamed up with Fr Jon Bielawski and Michele Thompson from the Diocese of Plymouth who between them have founded The Genesis Mission (www.genesismission.co.uk/) and who have been working prolifically both here and abroad with extraordinary results for sharing the good news of Jesus. Evangelisation is like swimming. You can learn about it but at some point, you need to get in the water and give it a go. This model encourages evangelists, after formation and training, to ask the Holy Spirit to bring them an encounter with someone. It can be used by anyone because it is rooted in the act and art of meaningful conversation which is an essential element of our humanity, but also combined and elevated with the most vital, life giving of all subjects; Jesus Christ. The Genesis method provides a practical way for a graced venture with the Living Lord, between you and the person you encounter. We are continuing and promulgating God’s revelation to the people who cross our paths in any one day at any one given moment. After a successful pilot in the Diocese of Salford, we have trained local leaders to deliver the sessions. Come along to find out more and how you can get involved. If you do wish to take part, you can sign up after the session. Following this:- There will be an opportunity to take part in the 7-week formation and training sessions in parish clusters/deaneries on Zoom. - Participants have a go at the Genesis Mission in their locality. - Teams meet once a month for prayer, feedback on how the conversations went, for spiritual reflection and planning.
