GS Misc 1210 1 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers GS Misc 1210 GENERAL SYNOD List of Speakers – July 2018 This paper provides a basic summary of statistics relating to the speakers at the July 2018 group of sessions. 1. The term “contribution” refers to either a speech made in a debate, or a question raised in a presentation. Note: • supplementaries asked during the Questions item have been included in the totals; and • contributions made by the mover/presenter of an item have not been included in the totals. 2. Overview of General Synod Make up of General Synod House of Bishops 53 House of Clergy 202 House of Laity 213 Non-voting 15 Total 483 Total Breakdown of General Synod membership 15 53 3% 11% 213 44% 202 42% House of Bishops House of Clergy House of Laity Non voting 3. There were 7 vacancies on the General Synod during the July group of sessions. 4. Overall speaking numbers: Number of members that spoke Number of contributions Bishops 17 27 Clergy 59 94 Lay 80 151 Non-voting 2 3 Total 158 275 1 Total number of members that spoke 2 17 1% 11% 80 51% 59 37% Bishops Clergy Lay Non voting 5. By directly comparing the first two graphs you can see that the Chairs called a representative number of speakers from each House, with a slight over representation of the House of Laity. However, if you include the total number of people that did not speak throughout the whole group of sessions the graph looks very different: 17 4% 59 12% 80 17% 2 325 0% 67% Bishops Clergy Lay Non voting Did not speak 6. Two thirds of General Synod (67%) did not speak in a debate, presentation or Questions.

I found something that had been sent me a long time ago, when I was a Curate by a former colleague. It was a narrative on a set of pictures of Church notice boards, photographs of notice boards mostly in America. Some made me smile. ….. God does not believe in atheists. Therefore atheists do not exist. What a lovely apparently logical thought! Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity, says the notice board of Neighbourhood Christian Center of the Assemblies of God. It makes you wonder whether there was an agenda there!! Donelson Baptist Church says: Forgive your enemies – it messes with their heads. I’m not sure that’s really what Jesus meant!! Oak Grove Baptist Church says: Walmart (Asda) is not the only saving place.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year. For corrections and updates, please contact Ecumenical Officer, Maria Bergstrand, Ms., Stockholm Diocese, Church of Sweden, E-mail: [email protected] JANUARY 3/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Sarah Mullally, Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe, Bishop Joanne Grenfell.
