The national assembly planning committee made a decision in February to postpone the assembly planned for this summer in Calgary, due to the uncertainties and risk associated with COVID-19.
The Council of the General Synod subsequently decided to hold General Synod in 2023, followed by a meeting of the General Synod in 2025, as previously anticipated. General Synod is the national Synod which includes delegates from across Canada.
As a result, committees continue in place for another year, and the planning for the General Synod continues with new timelines.
The precise dates for the postponed Assembly will depend on availability of a venue, but will likely be either late June or July.
What this means for delegates
Delegates who have already been elected to General Synod remain until the next meeting, with the hope that they will be available for the new dates.
More information to follow as it becomes available.
