The Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, said at the launch: "We are continuing to build a church for London that is confident, compassionate and creative. These three words have emerged from nearly 2,000 conversations over the last 18 months and they inform our Capital Vision 2020. As a Diocese we have reflected on the times we live in, listening and responding by identifying areas where we must be more purposeful and more imaginative."
