  • The General Synod of the Church of England
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: Stephen Slack
    Abstract:

    The July group of sessions saw final approval being given to a group of items, including an Amending Canon, giving effect to the more contentious aspects of the Bridge Review of Synodical Government. In addition to making a number of technical changes to the Church Representation Rules relating to PCCs and deanery Synods, the legislation will also alter the size and composition of the General Synod itself: among other changes, overall numbers will fall by 104 to 467 and the archdeacons' special constituency will be removed (their route to membership of the Synod being restricted to the diocesan clergy elections). There will also be reductions in the size of the special constituencies for deans and suffragan bishops.

  • General Synod of the Church of England
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2016
    Co-Authors: Stephen Slack
    Abstract:

    This report covers the first three groups of sessions of the new General Synod elected in 2015. The previous Synod having completed its legislative business and the inaugural group of sessions of a new Synod customarily being short, legislative business only really got under way at the February 2016 group of sessions.

  • General Synod of the Church of England: February and July 2012
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2012
    Co-Authors: Stephen Slack
    Abstract:

    The most significant legislative business considered by the Synod in 2012 was again that relating to the consecration of women to the episcopate.

  • Synodical government and the legislative process
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: Stephen Slack
    Abstract:

    This article reviews the exercise of the legislative function of the General Synod of the Church of England over the last 25 years. Beginning with a summary of the principles of Synodical government in the Church of England, it goes on to describe the establishment of the Synod, its composition and its functions. The different forms of legal provision available to the Synod in exercise of its legislative function are then considered, followed by an account of the impact of the Human Rights Act, the procedures applicable to the conduct of legislative business and the role of Parliament in the legislative process. After an assessment of the general pattern of Synodical legislation over the last 25 years, the main areas of legislative change during that period are reviewed. The article ends with an assessment of possible areas for future legislative activity.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church: June 2018
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: John F Stuart
    Abstract:

    The General Synod met at St Paul's and St George's Church in Edinburgh from 7 to 9 June. It was the first General Synod at which the new Primus, the Most Revd Mark Strange, presided. In his charge to Synod, he preached on the love of God and the meaning of ‘loving your neighbour as yourself’. The mission of the Church was about revealing God's love and making life better for all, not just for church members.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: John F Stuart
    Abstract:

    The General Synod met at St Paul's and St George's Church in Edinburgh from 8 to 10 June. In his charge to Synod the Primus, the Most Revd David Chillingworth, called the Church to unity as it debated its understanding of marriage. He suggested that God privileged agreement: ‘if two or three agree on earth about anything in my name, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven’. The converse was that the inability to agree closed off blessing and the challenge was whether the Church's oneness in Christ could sustain unity in the face of the diversity of views.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church: June 2019
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: John F Stuart
    Abstract:

    The General Synod met at St Paul's and St George's church in Edinburgh from 6 to 8 June. In his opening charge to Synod, the Primus, the Most Revd Mark Strange, encouraged Synod members to listen to the voice of God and respond to the command ‘this is the way, walk in it’. The Scottish Episcopal Church needed to be able to respond to a society crying out for reconciliation, fairness and hope but could only do so if, inside the Church, such values marked the way in which members treated one another.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2016
    Co-Authors: John F Stuart
    Abstract:

    The General Synod met at St Paul's and St George's Church in Edinburgh from 9 to 11 June 2016. In his charge to Synod, the Primus, the Most Revd David Chillingworth, reflected on the injunction of St Paul to ‘please God, who tests our hearts’. As the Synod prepared to consider canonical change in relation to marriage, he asked how the Church was to continue to express the love and unity to which it was called by God. During the preceding year, deep pain in relationships had been experienced both in the Anglican Communion and with the Church of Scotland and Church of England – and there was a need to explore whether the Scottish Episcopal Church itself might have contributed to that distress and to shape a response that ‘pleased God, who tests our hearts'. In the light of the (then) forthcoming referendum on the European Union, the Primus suggested that it was not the wish of many in Scotland to use national borders to protect economic privilege. If the referendum took the UK out of the European Union, it could have profound effects on the unfolding story of the new Scotland and of the UK as a whole.

  • The General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ivor Guild
    Abstract:

    A Eucharist set the Synod in motion, the preacher being the Bishop of Manicaland, Zimbabwe. A formal welcome by the Primus followed, in which he encouraged the Synod, since conflict was intrinsic to human experience, to engage in it creatively and in a way which would enliven the mission of the Church. The good wishes of the Synod were then sent to Her Majesty the Queen in this her golden jubilee year. A break ensued for lunch before the Synod pursued its agenda.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church: June 2012
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ivor Guild
    Abstract:

    To a Synod with little controversial on the agenda apart from the decision about the Anglican Covenant, the Primus in his charge at the opening Eucharist spoke of the economic wilderness through which society and the Church were travelling. The Covenant had been a response to the apparent wilderness of disagreement and disorder in the Anglican Communion, and he hoped that the Synod would express its deep commitment to the version of the Communion in which members were drawn closer to one another. The Scottish Church aspired to be fully engaged in society.

  • General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ivor Guild
    Abstract:

    The agenda seemed slight and uncontroversial. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland had been stimulated by the debate on homosexual ministers but nothing in the programme of discussion for Synod seemed likely to spark such feeling and argument. The Anglican Covenant could excite members to threaten schism or lead to a divided Church but it did not look likely.

  • Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church
    Ecclesiastical Law Journal, 2008
    Co-Authors: Ivor Guild
    Abstract:

    Synod discussed the question of whether, by way of Covenant, some degree of regulatory certainty could be given to the Lambeth Conference as one of the Instruments of Communion in the Anglican Communion. The Synod was being asked to give commitment to the process ‘in principle’ but not to the details, and an indication of the Synodical process by which the Covenant might be adopted. It was therefore remitted to the Faith and Order Board to decide how this could be done. The Bishop of St Andrews considered that the process was a means of broadening discussion; others were concerned that, if the Church committed itself to the process, it committed itself to the outcome; yet others described the whole concept of a Covenant as very un-Anglican.
