In the last couple of years a number of new extremely fragile catholic & contemplative mission ventures have been birthed, somewhat catching up with their evangelical colleaguescolleagues. of the Fresh Expressions initiative. In February of 2007, a national consultation day on fresh expressions of the catholic tradition established the need to promote development of this new and extremely fragile area of church life.
The Fresh Expressions Team, have therefore responded with the expressed intention to support, network and develop mission-shaped and fresh expressions of church drawing on the catholic/contemplative context.
Please find below a number of key documents following the consultation and reflections on future activity.
Aims:
1. To establish a Fresh Expressions Roundtable (No5) - to support and develop fresh expressions of the contemplative and catholic traditions of the Church of England & Methodist Church in England.
2. To promote and develop networks of practitioners and the catholic constituency to support and develop fresh expressions of the catholic traditions of the Church of England & Methodist Church in England.
3. To explore training and dialogue events to further the development of fresh expressions of the contemplative and catholic traditions of the Church of England.
4. To encourage and develop emerging church/fresh expressions practitioner networks regionally through out the Church of England of the contemplative and catholic traditions of the Church of England.
5. To support the following cohorts or subsets of known practitioner groups:
• Practitioners involved in youth and so called younger adults initiatives who are of an affirming catholic perspective
• Practitioners involved in youth activities coming from a conservative catholic perspective
• Practitioners from a middle of the road/evangelical/charismatic or other background who are working within a catholic context –
whether Cathedral/Parish/Benefice
• Practitioners drawing on the contemplative or monastic traditions to inform their mission initiative
• Practitioners or soon to be Ordained practitioners in Pioneer Ministry training planning to be involved in starting up or developing Ecs of the catholic tradition.

round table for training establishments).
