What does Christian leadership for the Common Good look like? How can churches fulfil their unique vocational responsibility?

Whether you are a lay person, a priest, vicar, pastor, deacon, religious brother or sister, a leader in a diocese or Christian organisation, a bishop, a chaplain or a lay minister, you are in a unique position to encourage and equip others. As the fallout of the pandemic hits our communities, Common Good leadership will be needed in all sectors.
