What is the Archdeaconry Synod? Who attends and what happens?
The Archdeaconry Synod is the annual meeting of Licensed Chaplains and Lay Representatives. It is an opportunity for renewal, study, reflection, fellowship, worship and some formal business. It is also a once-a-year occasion to meet others from around this large Archdeaconry, to exchange ideas and hopefully to be inspired to be the Church God calls us to be.
We welcome invited speakers and some guest observers too.
