General Synod is one of the key decision-making bodies of the Church of England. It usually meets twice a year to consider pressing issues and to make and amend the legislation that governs the Church.
The Synod is currently meeting in Westminster, and you can keep up with its debates and news at http://www.cofe.anglican.org/news/gspm2602.html
The Archbishop of Canterbury gave his presidential address to Synod, available here, in which he responded to developments at last week's meeting of national church leaders in Tanzania. These are uncertain times, and our prayers for Synod are needed, especially as contentious issues are to be debated in the coming days.
