Paul said it in Ephesians 2:14, and it’s written in our prayer book too. Jesus is the wall-breaker. The Church is meant to be a house without walls. We are called to be a structure that shelters, a place that the world can see right into, and a family that can never gather without being aware of a hurting world beyond us. This has never been more true than in our current global moment of Covid-19.

The Abbey 2021 is a conference for youth leaders and young adults. This year we gather to dream together about the incredible potential for renewal offered to us by this unprecedented moment. How do we rebuild our Anglican Church? How do we address the enormous disparities and injustices in Aotearoa? And how do we form our young people to follow Jesus wherever he calls them?
