Themes, Topics and Strategies
Every three years a strategy with three annual themes is decided by the Guild. The Guild also decides on a discussion topic every year. See below for the current theme, topic and strategy.
Strategy 2021 - 2024: Look Forward in Faith
Theme 2022-2023: Wee Seeds, Big Trees
Annual themes were introduced to encourage Guilds to plan their programmes more effectively. These resources were introduced in the 1950s to give a focus for Guilds but are sufficiently broad to allow for imaginative planning.
Discussion Topic 2022 - 2023: Faith and change
Topics offer a chance to explore a particular issue of current concern, possibly leading to some local action.
Resource material for each topic is prepared and circulated before each new session and training days are offered to help local leadership teams address the topic in their local groups.
You can download the 2022 - 2023 Wee Seeds, Big Trees theme and discussion topic guide. You can also download the Trees and Seeds quiz to fit in with our theme.
