We will be running three ‘town hall’ online sessions to allow delegates to ask questions and engage in the discussion about the ordination proposals before General Synod. Delegates need only attend one session, as the content is the same in each. In an email to their LCA address, delegates have been advised how to register for the sessions and log in to participate. > Wednesday 30 November at 5.30pm (ACDT) – log in from 5.15pm The sessions will also be livestreamed on the Town Hall Sessions page on the General Synod website, and all members of the church are invited to watch them.
