Presidential address
Bishop Steven’s presidential address to Diocesan Synod is available online and has been widely shared on social media channels in the past few days. We have now published a companion discussion guide for use by small groups, PCCs and Deanery Synods.
Please encourage your church members and wider networks to spend some time reflecting on the important issues raised in +Steven’s address, using the discussion guide if they wish.
Groups are invited to share their reflections and feedback with Bishop Steven, details on page 5 of the guide.
