T
he words "Church" and "strategy" are not often
used together. There are many reasons for this. The
Church is a longstanding institution (2,000 plus
years…no big deal). Sometimes, it's hard to see how con-
ventional wisdom could benefit an eternal institution. At
the same time, the Church has had to adapt to countless
cultural shifts throughout the past two millennia, and she
survived by growing, reforming and maturing. Here in the
Archdiocese of Denver, we believe that God has a plan and
invites us to ask him about it, discern it and work toward
it. For us, that plan consists of three mission anchors: Holy
Priests, Equipped Leaders for Mission and Missional Curia.
These anchors guide the Archdiocese's work and include
significant work that everyone is called to help advance.
