Vision for Leith - Statement of Vision
Posted Oct 2, 01:44 PM
We believe that Community is a sign of the ‘Kingdom of God’ and that it needs a spiritual heart. The Churches of Leith therefore have a responsibility to foster, support and share in a vision for Leith as one community.
We believe this is God’s vision too.
The vision is for the ‘church’ to play an active part in the life of the Community,
i) by making a connection with God, witnessing to Him, and
ii) by working actively together with the other Churches, as if one, to meet the varied needs of the community, both spiritual and practical. We should also link with other faith groups and denominations who share Leith’s vision.
We desire Leith to be a growing, caring, multicultural and friendly community, enjoying a cleaner environment, safer streets, social housing, better amenities and more employment
We seek:
• Good relations between young and old
• Mutual concern
• A family emphasis
• An openness to ‘outsiders’
• A positive identity for Leith
• A sense of belonging
