Updated 13 March: Postponement of the Environment Open Synod Forum which was due to be held on 21 March
A meeting of the Diocesan Synod in Open Forum was due to take place Synod Forum on Saturday 21st March at the Northumberland Church of England Academy. The Bishops Officer for the Environment, the Revd Mark Nash-Williams, had pulled together a super agenda and workshops to help us focus our efforts on how we respond to environmental issues that we face.
The meeting was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you to all who worked with Mark to prepare the Open Synod Forum. We will circulate a new date as soon as we have that confirmed.
