The General Synod’s Business Committee has “laid on a very busy group of sessions” for July, the Synod’s secretary-general, William Nye, said on Thursday, as the full agenda was published.
Clergy pay, the governance of the House of Bishops, and redress for survivors of church-based abuse are all on the agenda for the sessions in York, along with a presentation on church growth and an address from a member of the armed forces.
The full agenda and accompanying documents were published on Thursday morning, before a press conference at Church House, Westminster. The Synod is to meet at the University of York from 11 to 15 July.
On the first afternoon, members will hear from Brigadier Jaish Mahan, Deputy Commander Reserves, 1st (UK) Division, who has served in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and the Synod will consider legislation to facilitate the licensing of army chaplains as they move between deployments.
