As always, we welcome your suggestions for improvement.

The Way Forward working groups have completed their work in the development phase of the framework that will be put to General Synod as a proposal for how the LCANZ might operate as one church with two practices of ordination. It is expected that the General Church Board and College of Bishops will release the framework to the church in late April or early May. The announcement will be made via Way Forward eNews.
