The Diocesan Synod is currently renewing its membership for a new 3-year term.  If you are interested, please contact your vicar for details.

The Synod meets three times a year on Saturday mornings, twice in person and once online. The meetings have interesting visiting speakers addressing key issues the church faces and provide the opportunity to give feedback to the Diocese about the reality of parish life.

Richard adds, “I have been a member of Diocesan Synod for the past eight years and I throughly recommend it.
