As promised, we will be hosting a series of webinars leading up to Synod. These sessions are intended to provide delegates with an opportunity to ask questions, hear from fellow delegates, and gain insight into the motions coming before Synod — all in an effort to use our time more efficiently during the gathering itself.

During Synod 2023, a motion was made and carried stating, “A working group consisting of at least one Archdeacon, one Regional Dean, the Bishop, the Executive Director, and five additional members (clergy and lay) from across the Diocese, is to be charged with the following tasks:

a. To re-examine Canon 11: The Diocesan Council, Canon 20: Regions and Regional Deans, and Canon 35: Parochial Government and any other associated/impacted Canons to review personnel (volunteer and stipendiary) requirements.”

Each of the following webinars will focus on a specific canon. The Chancellor, as well as the motions’ movers, seconders, and other committee members, will be present to answer questions and offer clarification where needed. We will be careful not to debate the issues in advance but to provide information and insight. Please note that while resolutions cannot be amended during these webinars, friendly amendments may be prepared in advance and brought forward at Synod.
