The move to Mission Areas
Diocesan Income/Expenditure Income – 2017 Budget: £4,587,069
Throughout 2016 all churches in the Diocese have become part of their local emerging Mission Area. 15 of the 21 emerging Mission Areas have agreed their Mission Area Share. Mission Area Share is rooted in the theology of generosity and approached around the principles of the Gospel. The remaining six Mission Areas are continuing with Parish Share for 2017 and will join the Mission Area Share scheme in 2018.
Expenditure – 2017 Budget: £4,883,429
To cushion congregations from increased costs during this time of transition, the diocesan conference approved a deficit budget. This deficit will be funded from Diocesan reserves. The diocese continues to receive a subsidy equivalent to 23% of its budget from the Representative Body of the Church in Wales.
