  1. The Pastoral Cycle

  2. See • Explore the issue you have identified • Draw a ‘spidergram’ of your issue • Break your issue down as far as you possible can to identify the links with other issues • What are the causes? • What things don’t you know? How could you find them out? • Where are the points here change could be brought about?

  3. Reflect • Where are the resonances of connections as you reflect on the issues and links? • Are there bible stories, biblical or theological themes, or Christian symbols or traditions which ring bells? • What might they be saying about where God is in this situation? • Which are the elements that cause joy, signs for celebration? • Which cause sorrow, signs for repentance and challenge? • What is the vision?

  4. Act • How can you and/or your church respond? • Personally – do you want to learn more or change your behaviour? • Practically – what practical help is needed in this situation? • Politically – what political changes are needed, and how can these be brought about?
