History
The Synod is the Bishop's consulting body. Until 1982 the Diocesan Synod consisted of the Bishop and all instituted and licensed clergy in the Diocese, who met at least once a year. In 1982, with the establishment of the new General Synod, the former Diocesan Synod and Diocesan Council became the Diocesan Synod, which was formed by the Bishop, clergy and all Lay Representatives of congregations.
