Churchgoers across Wales are being invited to see in #2020Vision this Lent.
They are being asked to take a fresh look at changes happening in their churches and spread the good news through Twitter.
They will use the hashtag #2020Vision – 2020 Vision is the Church in Wales’ strategy for growth as it approaches its centenary in six years’ time.
Every day in Lent, which starts today (Wednesday) and continues to Easter Sunday, @ChurchinWales will tweet news and comments from around the Church’s six dioceses about how 2020 Vision is making a difference. All the tweets will be in Welsh and English and everyone is invited to join in, respond or just re-tweet.
The Bishop of Bangor, Andy John, who is on the 2020 Vision strategy group, said:
“We want people to share ideas about change that is happening in their churches and enthuse and inspire each other. Tweeting is a great and easy way to do this and helps spread the news about 2020 Vision. Lent is a good time to do it as it is traditionally a time of reflection. There are lots of ways in which people can contribute – they can tweet about things that have worked well or not so well, ask for prayers for people taking on new roles, invite others to be part of something new or simply express hope for the future. All these thoughts will then be linked together through the hashtag #2020Vision and hopefully by Easter we’ll have helped spread the word about the changes the Church in Wales is embarking on.”
