 In recent years Our Calling has become a familiar process in many churches and circuits. It sets out briefly our core purpose as a Church. It is a simple statement against which to review each year what we do in each congregation and circuit. It can suggest to us, year on year, the next step to take together to become the Church God wants us to be in the twenty-first century. In the light of Our Calling, we have listened hard to one another's dreams for the future of the Church. We have listened also to the fundamental and deep challenges that confront all churches in Britain today, in rural and urban settings. Throughout these consultations we kept hearing a few themes over and over again. The plea was for all of us to help one another, using all the resources of the Church, to pursue our dreams and to address these challenges. All this is summarised in the Priorities for the Methodist Church. The Priorities are a vision for change and for hope in the Church. God is calling us to pull together in developing the Priorities in churches, circuits, districts and the Connexional Team, with imagination and courage. David G Deeks
