The next stage is that those proposals go to each Diocesan Synod to enable your representatives to debate the issues and whatever the feelings of each Diocese might be, those observations are sent to the Faith and Order Board for further deliberation. The Rectors of our Region feel that you ought to be given the opportunity to express whatever views or anxieties you might have on the proposals. Accordingly, all the Rectors will host a “road show” on the subject. Rather than have separate meetings in the Charges we have decided to offer three meetings at one venue being St Margaret’s Newlands. The meetings will be Saturday 28th January (10:30 am – 12:30 am) Tuesday 31st January (11:00 am – 1:00 pm) and Thursday 2nd February (7:00 pm – 9:00 pm). We hope that those three choices will give everyone the opportunity to attend one of them. The Rector StOM Page 18
