What is Mission?

The Diocese of Salisbury seeks to encompass all aspects of mission in a way which best reflects the Glory of God, especially those identified in the Five Marks of Mission.

A Mission Council has been formed to support and resource the work of mission and evangelism in the Diocese. More here.
