GENERAL CONVENTION OF SYNOD 2024 Popular Report
Almost 380 lay and pastor delegates, along with church officials and staff, and almost 150 volunteers, met at Concordia College in Highgate, SA, from 4 to 7 October for the 21st Regular Convention of General Synod.
For your information the Synod Popular Report is attached.
In a message to the church, Bishop Paul encourages us to pause and reflect on the decisions made at the October 21st Regular Convention of General Synod, particularly regarding the resolution on ordination:
'I commend to you this time following our Convention as a time to pause: to pray and to listen; to listen to each other and to listen to the voice of our Good Shepherd.' Bishop Paul also emphasises the importance of finding 'liminal spaces' in our lives as Christians.
These spaces, he explains, are like doorsteps that enable us to move through things required for the next place.
Attached is the Bishop's prayer which includes two prayers for the church.
