Steps to Reconciliation

Proclaim Anglican Church desires to be a church where every member enjoys community with one another. However, we recognise that when more than one sinner gathers, conflict can happen. This is a sad reality of life which has happened through all walks of church life. We shouldn’t be surprised when conflict comes. As a church, we want to foster a community that commits to repentance, pursues reconciliation and longs for restoration wherever possible. We have created a policy toward Gospel Reconciliation for this purpose.
