Date of Synod: Saturday, November 4, 2023

"Stewarding God's Gifts for Mission" is the theme for the 149th Synod of the Diocese of Niagara, as chosen by Bishop Susan Bell. The theme, and its underlying scriptural passage from 1 Peter 4-8, will serve as a lens through which members of synod will engage the matters coming before Synod.

The Synod of the Diocese of Niagara is the legal governance body (established by statute of the Legislature in the Province of Ontario) with responsibility for the ministry of the Anglican Church of Canada within its diocesan boundaries. Ignited by the irresistible love of Jesus, and guided by the Holy Spirit, at Synod, we seek to discern God's mission as we pray, listen, discuss, and work at being the Church, under the leadership of our bishop.
