Synod Representatives
Thank you to all those who are serving God, their local church community and the broader Diocese through the Office of Synod Representative.
Election and duties
Every three years, two lay people from each parish are elected as Synod Representatives. Synod Representatives, together with the clergy, represent their parish at Synod and have a responsibility to deliberate upon and to promote the mission and welfare of the Diocese as a whole.
Synod Representatives are elected in accordance with Section 34 of the Parishes Regulation Canon.
