Please get your voice heard on the Deanery Synod
Annual Church meetings are being held across Cornwall over the next few days. Church accounts will be presented and plans for the coming year discussed. And at many of these meetings, deanery synod members will be elected. Deanery synod membership is an important - and crucial - role. Deanery synod members are the only people who can elect diocesan synod or general synod members. Deanery synod members are the electorate for the Church of England. This is particularly important as we face such change in Cornwall through On The Way plans - and our Bishops are talking about 'oversight ministers', rather than priests in parishes. Please think about standing. Forms should be at the back of your church. The date of your Annual Church meeting should be clearly advertised. You will need a proposer and seconder. Here's a leaflet from Save The Parish with more information.
