Synod Business

The Synod’s business each year includes:
•    A Presidential address on a topical subject, delivered by the Bishop of St Albans at each Synod.
•    The Diocesan Common Fund budget for the coming year; the receipt and discussion of the accounts of the Diocesan Board of Finance for the past year; and the approval of stipend levels – the amount paid to clergy – for the coming year.
•    Receipt and discussion of the Annual Reports of diocesan boards and committees.
•    Questions raised by Members of the Synod – these should be sent in writing to the Diocesan Secretary at least 28 days before a meeting of Synod.
•    Matters raised by Deanery Synods.
•    Matters referred by the General Synod, including draft legislation.
•    Motions and presentations by diocesan boards and committees.
