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 term of office of the current Diocesan Synod ends on Wednesday, 31 July 2024, therefore the Diocese of Derby must elect a new Diocesan Synod from among its clergy and laity.
