The vision for Southeast Florida is for us to be truly a diocese Committed to Mission, whose bishop is the Chief Missionary among all missionaries. 

The diocese is localized in the various missionary outposts (congregations, institutions and diocesan office), living within the Catholic Structure of Classic Anglicanism with the purpose of living out the Great Commission, focusing on the unchurched around us, with a goal—BHAG*--of growing to 100,000/60,000 baptized members by 2010/2006, with over 100 congregations representing transformed lives of “all sorts and conditions of people”.

 *Big Holy Audacious Goal

On May 6, 2000, when the Rt. Rev. Leo Frade was elected the third bishop of Southeast Florida, he promised that he intended to be a "missionary bishop".

At the Diocesan Convention that year, he began to describe how we could become a "missionary diocese".

In November 2000 (and again in 2001) Diocesan Leaders attended the "Clear Vision" Conference sponsored by the Diocese of Texas in order to learn how that diocese is living into its vision.

On April 28, 2001, Bishop Frade invited our diocese to take the "First Step" toward living into our own vision of a mission-focused church.

The 2001 Diocesan Convention continued to focus on our vision, and our "Next Step" process is providing the people of the diocese with tools for reaching out to all the world with the transforming love of Jesus Christ.
