Come&C in the Diocese of Jerusalem – The Video
Last month Archbishop Michael Jackson and the Revd Rob Jones, Rector of Rathmines with Harold’s Cross, travelled to our partners in the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. Their aim was to share the Come&C programme with people in several countries which make up the diocese.
The Come&C initiative has been growing in Dublin & Glendalough since 2014. It is designed to equip people for discipleship and deepen their understanding of their own faith and is centred around the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion: TELL: to proclaim God’s Kingdom; TEACH: to teach, baptize and nurture; TEND: to respond to human need; TRANSFORM: to transform unjust structures; and TREASURE: to safeguard creation.
“Bringing Come&C to Jerusalem in a way has been a fulfillment of prophecy hoped for and prayed for. Because it has helped us come to this place and bring back with us the message which first came from here,” Archbishop Jackson explained.
“While we were here we looked at the marks of mission against the backdrop of the work the the Diocese of Jerusalem does through education and healthcare, reaching right out into the community and tending to the community,” he added.
In this video, made by the Revd Rob Jones, the Archbishop not only talks about Come&C but gives a brief guide to Jerusalem, Bethlehem and other areas of the diocese.
