SYNOD
Delegates and clergy from our parishes attend the ADO Diocesan Synod annually. The ‘Annual General Meeting’ of the Diocese is essential as this allows us to assemble and see the bigger picture of the mission and ministry of the ADO. Synod allows us to learn and discuss how we pursue Christ in our changing culture and society.
Our Synod’s main components are Business Outreach and Worship Evangelism Community. Some of Synod’s duties are:
- Approving budgets and financial statements
- Receiving reports from Diocese committees and subcommittees
- Electing Provincial Synod, General Synod, Advisory Panel, Diocesan Council, etc. delegates, and members
For 2023, we are excited to provide updates and discuss next steps about the ADO strategic vision of Shape of Parish Ministry (SPMC).
