Diocesan Synod

The Diocesan Synod usually meets three times a year and has three houses, bishops, clergy and laity. The Synod discusses diocesan business and local concerns, as well as sending forward motions for the General Synod to debate. In return, they debate important issues passed to them by General Synod, which often wants the views of the dioceses before voting on major legislation.

Forthcoming Synod Meetings

In 2008, meetings of the Diocesan Synod are planned for the following dates:

  • Saturday 15 March
  • Saturday 7 June
  • Saturday 18 October

Synod Reports

The reports of Synod meetings here are not the official Minutes of the Synod, but unofficial reports by members of the Synod. They are placed here for the information of people in the diocese, and especially for Diocesan Synod members who have a duty to report to their respective Deanery Synods on the proceedings of the Diocesan Synod.
