The Hope25 Story

Hope25 is an initiative of the Anglican Church Australia. The Standing Committee of General Synod identified Evangelism as one of its strategic priorities before the next General Synod. They requested the Mission and Ministry Commission to plan a season of Parish-based evangelism in 2025. Hope25 – Hope in an Uncertain World is that project.
