Scottish Episcopal Church General Synod

10/06/2010 10:30:00


The Scottish Episcopal Church General Synod begins today.

There is a press release outlining the main agenda items on the Scottish Episcopal Church site, which includes this brief statement from the Primus, the Most Rev David Chillingworth:

“The business before us over the next few days will give us plenty of opportunity to talk about the life of our church, our society and our place in God’s creation. We shall visit questions about what it means to be fully human – for example in the Gender Audit.  The Anglican Covenant arises from the stresses and strains in our life around the issues of human sexuality – the continuing questions about what it means to be human and about the nature of God himself.  But it also leads us to ask how we can continue to express a common faith in Christ – to recognize one another as disciples – within the rich diversity of the life of our church and of the Anglican Communion.”

“It will be a great pleasure to receive the Most Rev Katharine Jefferts Schori.  We greet her as the Primate of one of the Provinces of the Anglican Communion - one with which the Scottish Episcopal Church has close historical links.”


You can follow the proceedings on Twitter via the hashtag #pisky, along with official updates from the Scottish Episcopal Church Twitter account.


The Gender Audit - surely not more diversity-ridden madness? Didn't we just fluch that rubbish down the electoral pan?
