Deanery Synod

 

The Deanery Synod is the body which reflects on issues wider than the routine business of a PCC and seeks to bring the local Anglican churches in the Diocese of Southwark closer together to consider matters concerning the Church of England.

It brings together the views of the parishes of the Synod on common problems, the discussion and formulation of common policies on those problems.

The Synod is made up of parish Vicars and three congregation members from each parish who are nominated and voted for at the Annual Parochial Church meeting. It meets at least three times each year and are held in different parishes, hosted by the Vicar of that parish.
