The Way Forward project team thanks everyone who has provided feedback on the three frameworks, which were released for consultation last September. Some great suggestions have been shared as part of the feedback, and this valuable input helps enable the team to enhance and evolve the thinking on the framework to be presented to General Synod in October.

Lay delegate assistance
The General Church Board recognises that some parishes financially struggle to send a lay delegate to General Synod and has earmarked limited funding to assist in some cases where the parish is unable to cover expenses. Applications for assistance must be made on the Lay Delegate Assistance application form and received no later than 31 October 2024. Applications and inquiries should be directed to: synod@lca.org.au
Parish General Synod fees due 31 March
Parishes, please remember to pay your General Synod delegate fee by 31 March. The fee, which covers Convention administration and running costs, is $550 (plus GST if appropriate). The fees are charged on a per-delegate basis to parishes whether or not their delegate(s) attends Convention. If your parish did not receive a notification letter or invoice, or if you need more information, please email synod@lca.org.au
