ELECTION OF DELEGATES

Parishes have been advised that they must elect their delegate/s for the 2024–27 synodical period and return the appointment form to the Secretary of the Church by 31 March 2024. Parishes must elect a delegate for the synodical period even if that person is unable to attend Convention of General Synod in October 2024. It is strongly recommended that parishes appoint an alternate delegate at the same parish meeting that the delegate is elected. It is important to note that delegates serve the LCANZ for the full three-year synodical period, commencing at the 2024 Convention through to the commencement of the 2027 Convention. Parish members and those people nominated for the important role of delegate should be familiar with the responsibilities of delegates.
