My ideal is of a church where the political thrust of the kingdom is proclaimed and forwarded, without compromise or reservation. It is of a church where there is knowledge of the interior journey. It is of a church whose liturgy, in the way I hope to have indicated, holds these two concerns together in a fruitful interplay. It is thus a church which can lead the world towards justice and can also guide the world from magic towards mystery - a movement both inward and outward that alone can bring the peace of the kingdom.

Most dioceses have their own local groups to undertake similar projects themselves.
