Diocesan Synod
By Pat Lee | September 26, 2007
October 20-22, 2011 Diocesan Synod in Ottawa
“Hear Then the Parable of the Sower”-Matthew 13:8 (Proclaiming, Nurturing and Growing Together)
In our Anglican spiritual tradition, we do not have a centralised authoritarian organisation or have decisions made for us based upon a few written-in-stone “faith” statements. Instead we make decisions carefully over time as a community. Representative groups of both clergy and lay people meet together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and reflect on Scripture and Tradition in the light of Reason when making decisions. We consider a variety of positions and emphases to be healthy within the family of our world-wide communion. Diocesan Synods are one example of how the Anglican way works.
