Everywhere I look, there is news on the Church of England and not just because of the Synod:-

Telegraph – There is news that Church of England staff could man picket lines outside the Archbishop of Canterbury’s historic residence for the first time ever, in a dispute over pay.

And a sample of Synod news today:-

Telegraph – The governing body of the Church, the General Synod, has voted to give the surviving partners of homosexual priests the same retirement income as widowed spouses.

Telegraph – Christian concern over the impact of high-profile atheist scientists on religious belief will be debated at the national assembly of the Church of England.

However, I think the two most interesting pieces are these:-

Anglican Samizdat – The President Bishop of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East has quit the Standing Committee of the Anglican Consultative Council, stating he has no faith in its integrity.

Guardian – The adversarial model doesn’t help – The General Synod is unique. It is the only group to whom Parliament has given power to pass measures which become English law.

Just my opinion….
