Diocesan Synod

The Diocesan Synod usually meets three times a year and has three houses, bishops, clergy and laity. The Synod discusses diocesan business and local concerns, as well as sending forward motions for the General Synod to debate. In return, they debate important issues passed to them by General Synod, which often wants the views of the dioceses before voting on major legislation.
