Deanery News

I hope that everyone has had a good summer, and enjoyed some rest and relaxation. As we enter the season of Harvest, there is one significant Deanery occasion. On Tuesday, October 11th at 7.30pm in Long Compton Church the Deanery Synod will meet to consider the current moves towards the Ordination and Consecration of Women to the Episcopate: i.e. women bishops. The meeting will be given over to examining this matter in some depth, so that the views of our Synod are known ahead of the Diocesan Synod on November 5th when a formal (Diocesan) vote will be taken. All are very welcome.
