  • ELECTIONS for GENERAL SYNOD Under the Constitution of The
    Revised: November 14, 2011 ELECTIONS FOR GENERAL SYNOD Under the Constitution of the Diocese of Toronto and the Constitution of the General Synod, Synod is required to elect nine clergy and nine lay members to serve as members of General Synod. The next General Synod meeting will be held from July 3 to 7, 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario. The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada is the church’s chief governing and legislative body. It is made up of members from every diocese and all three orders (lay people, priests, and bishops) from across the country. It meets every three years during which members exchange information, set policy for the Church and pass resolutions and canons. In years when the General Synod does not meet, the Church is governed by the Council of General Synod (CoGS), effectively a smaller subcommittee with a similar mandate and similar powers. This year, nominees for General Synod were asked to submit approximately fifty words about their involvement at the diocesan, parish and community level. The following are the biographies submitted by the nominees. GENERAL SYNOD – Nine Clerical Members to be elected o The Rev. Jenny Andison – St. Paul, Bloor Street - Jenny was ordained in 1997 and first served in a multi-point parish in the Diocese of Ontario. She then spent a year at St. Alban's Church in Tokyo and two years at St. Timothy, Agincourt. She then moved, with her husband Tim, to London, England for five years where she served as Associate Vicar at St. James, Clerkenwell, a church reboot in the heart of the city.

    good idea! A resource for evangelism and church growth Volume 6, Number 4 Winter 1999 Contents Reviewing the Decade of Evangelism A Bishop's-Eye View of the Nineties Bible Study: The Already and the Not Yet My Most Influential Books Reviewing the Decade of Evangelism By Harold Percy The Lambeth Conference in 1988 designated the 1990s a Decade of Evangelism, so now seems a good time to pause and review where we have come from and where we yet need to go. Complete objectivity is a luxury human beings do not have access to, so these are simply some personal observations from my own travels and conversations across the country. What have we gained? 1. We have asked some tough questions This Decade has provided the church with an opportunity to pause and reflect on who we are and what we are supposed to be doing. More specifically, we have been able to ask ourselves hard questions such as, Do we have a faith worth sharing? and, Do we have a church worth inviting people to? Questions like these can go unasked for long periods of time, but it is imperative that we ask them from time to time in order to stay focused. 2. We have widened our vocabulary The most obvious example is that the word evangelism itself has been rehabilitated. One writer said some years ago, 'We have to reclaim the word 'evangelism' from the red-light district of the church and reinstate it on Main Street.' I think it is fair to say that we have done that.
