Synod Essential Information 2024

Andrew Metcalfe —

Day One of Synod took place on 13 September in Dunedin with Day 22 on the 14th September. A further (brief) session is planned for Friday 22 November.

Summary of information below

  • Synod Timetable for 2024

  • Pre-Synod meetings - now complete

  • The Synod Book

  • Extra Synod Day: 22 November 2024

  • Annual Return information 

  • Attendance-Leave of Absence

A reminder that the Guide to Synod is useful to have a look at, especially for newer Synod members. If you are new to this kind of role, you may also find our Overview of the Diocese of Dunedin information useful on our "About Us" webpage (this information is also included in Part 1 of the Synod book).  

Also, check out the 2023 Yearbook which contains a record of the proceedings from Synod 2023.
