AUSTRALIA: CHANGES FOR AUSTRALIAN BOARD OF MISSION

(The Adelaide Guardian)  The Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) is making a
series of sweeping changes to put more emphasis on parish work.

This year the ABM will streamline its administration in favour of
strategically-located field staff specialising the areas of youth
ministry, mission education and development work.

"The new plan is designed to free field staff from office work so they
can
spend more time in parishes and schools, keeping Anglicans in touch with
their part in God's mission," ABM's national director Bishop Kyme said.

The changes were approved by the Board of the Mission last year after 12
months of research and will come into effect throughout this year.
