October 2009—June 2010
Resource Hubs
Each conversation partner will be resourced by a Hub which will ground the conversations in its cultural contexts and provide theological processes for conversation across difference.
May—June 2010
Collation of materials from the Hubs and transformation into appropriate resources and training materials for the convenors, facilitators and participants.
July 2010
Consultations between the convening bishops of the conversations in the pilot conversations to discuss together a plan for action, get a better understanding of each other’s contexts and set the questions for their conversation
September 2010
Training, sharing and strategising by the facilitators
October 2010 – October 2011
The Pilot Conversations
Over the course of the year the participants will visit one another’s dioceses and meet together for a conversation. Bishops may not have the time to participate in every visit, but we hope they will be following the process closely.
November 2011 onwards
Towards the end of 2011 there will be a mutually agreed process to reflect on the conversations, their results and the process.
January 2012
