The Four Operating Principles
1) Each region is self-determining,
but we walk together for strength
2) We are consciously crosscultural
with shared leadership
3) Our priority is healing and
reconciliation
4) For the Diocese to survive,
the parishes must thrive
(ministry is most effective at
the local level)
