Faith-based non-government organisations are responsible for a
considerable amount of international development aid, yet there is
little research on the relationship between faith and development.
In 2004 the Anglican Board of Mission embarked on an organisational
learning process to explore the influence of the development sector
on their own sphere of activities. Notions of intentionality,
accountability and legitimacy emerged as significant foundations
for the agency's work. Its multiple accountabilities - to
government, to its Anglican constituency, and to overseas church
partners - offer a framework through which the agency can
continually assess its organisational integrity and fidelity to its
value base. Articulating intentionality of purpose and a clear
theological understanding of mission and development are crucial if
the agency is to maintain its legitimacy. "Making space to breathe"
became a metaphor to describe the task of creating both a
reflective space which opens possibilities for transformed praxis,
and a liminal space between the evangelical and development
activities of the agency in which a unifying philosophical ground
can be discovered.
