The Anglican Board of Mission (ABM) is making a series of sweeping changes to put more emphasis on parish work.
This year the ABM will streamline its administration in favour of strategically-located field staff specialising the areas of youth ministry, mission education and development work.
"The new plan is designed to free field staff from office work so they can spend more time in parishes and schools, keeping Anglicans in touch with their part in God's mission," ABM's national director Bishop Kyme said.
The changes were approved by the Board of the Mission last year after 12 months of research and will come into effect throughout this year.
