What does the ‘New Capital Project' really mean? Archbishop Peter Jensen and Sydney Diocesan Secretariat CEO, Rodney Dredge, answer frequently asked questions and outline how it will contribute to the need to see Sydney evangelised.

Archbishop Peter Jensen is leading a major funding project aimed to supply finance for Christian work. It is known as the ‘New Capital Project' and involves discovering whether parts of the Diocese's asset base, which is estimated at $3 to $4 billion, can be used to raise the money needed for ministry.

A friend of mine used to say, “Only a good script promises a good result.” I can only wonder what he would have made of gems like, “Looks like blunt force brain surgery!”, and “I'm going ahead with this – minimum mercy; maximum sentence” – two of my favourite quotes from television's longest running criminal drama, Law & Order. Snappy scripts filled with lines like these have been the bedrock beneath fifteen seasons of Emmy Award winning episodes. Incidentally, they also serve as an excellent summary of the philosophies behind the show's prolonged success.
