The 151st Synod of the Diocese of Niagara
Online Saturday, November 1st, 2025
"Take our life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee" is the theme for the 151st Synod of the Diocese of Niagara, as chosen by Bishop Susan Bell.
Its theme is inspired by a classic hymn highlighting the important diocesan priorities regarding vocations, leadership, and faith formation. All of which are articulated in our renewed diocesan Mission Action Plan, which continues to focus us on the many opportunities God is calling us to life and compelling us to love. It’s also an especially fitting theme for a Synod that will take place on the Feast of All Saints, November 1.
The Synod this year will be virtual, with members gathering via Zoom to consider essential matters during a half-day session.
Throughout the Synod, as reports and presentations are considered, members will pray and reflect on this theme alongside a refreshed diocesan Mission Action Plan.
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.
