The draft Scheme carried the following as the diocesan rationale for your proposals: As the result of ongoing concerns about the financial viability and capacity for governance and mission going forward, the Bishop of Southwark held a Visitation to the parish of All Saints, Spring Park in 2016. This was conducted by the Bishop and Archdeacon of Croydon. A series of Directions were issued as a result of this, designed to help the parish to address these areas. There has sadly been no evidence that this has been the case nor has the parish demonstrated the future capacity to do so.

  • 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.

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.
