Diocesan Synod is the largest and most representative governing body in a diocese and operates at the highest level of overview.
Effectively, it is the governing body of the Diocese of Derby.
It contributes to setting direction by acting as a sounding board and forum for debate and giving higher level approval.
The Diocesan Synod brings together elected clergy and lay representatives from our parishes within the diocese's eight deaneries.
The new Diocesan Synod is formed from 1 August 2024, and ends on 31 July 2027.
