General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada

The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada is the church’s national decision-making body, gathering bishops, clergy, lay representatives, and members every few years. It sets policies, approves budgets, and shapes the church’s direction across Canada. Think of it as the church’s highest council, guiding doctrine, mission, and governance to ensure the church's work aligns with its faith and values. It provides a space for collaboration, discussion, and consensus-building among diverse communities to serve the spiritual and social needs of Canadians.
