The 150th Synod of the Diocese of Niagara
Saturday, November 2, 2024
"Faith in the Future" is the theme for the 150th Synod of the Diocese of Niagara. It's based on Jeremiah 29:11 ‐ "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope."
Throughout the Synod, as reports and presentations are considered, members will pray and reflect on this theme alongside a refreshed diocesan Mission Action Plan.
In addition to the regular proceedings of our Synod, there will also be a special anniversary dinner in the evening of our Synod to mark the diocese's sesquicentennial, generously sponsored by Ecclesiastical Insurance.
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.
