Diocesan Synod

A Diocesan Synod is a formal gathering of clergy and lay representatives within a diocese—an administrative region of the church. Its purpose is to discuss, plan, and make decisions on various church matters, such as worship, community outreach, clergy appointments, and church policies. The Synod provides a platform for collaboration and shared governance, ensuring that the bishop and church members work together to address the spiritual and operational needs of the diocese. It plays a vital role in maintaining accountability, fostering unity, and guiding the church's direction within that geographical area.
