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 2024 -2027 Let us Build a house

Theme 2024-25 Sure Foundations

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 2024-25 Faith: the reason we serve

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 2024 - 2025 Sure Foundations theme and discussion topic guide.

And link the theme guide attached where the red text is.
