This simple booklet outlines what a Bishop's Mission Order is. Every PCC and deanery synod in the land needs to come to grips with the opportunities created by the new Bishops' Mission Orders. The booklet sets out when a BMO may be needed, what it can and cannot do, and how the process will work.
In clear, accessible language, the booklet covers the background to the Dioceses, Pastoral and Mission Measure 2007, the consultation needed, the steps you need to follow, the role of the Visitor, drawing up an order and provision for review. This short guide is an essential starting point in making the most of a key piece of new legislation to support fresh expressions of church.
More information about BMOs can be found on the BMO page of the Guide.
