About

From 2020, the Synod in session will meet annually. We gather members from congregations and ministries from across South Australia. In the Uniting Church, the Synod is one of the interrelated councils of the Church, each council having its separate responsibilities, and the requirement to listen to other councils of churches.

What happens at a Synod meeting? Why do we have them? These questions are answered in the video below.
