Synod Delegate Nomination Information
"Gracious and everliving Father, you have given the Holy Spirit to abide with us for ever: Bless, we pray, with the Holy Spirit’s grace and presence, the Bishop(s), Priests, Deacons, and all the Laity who assemble in your Name; that your Church, being preserved in true faith and godly discipline, may fulfill the will of him who loved her and gave himself for her, your Son Jesus Christ our Savior; who now lives and reigns with you and the same Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen."
-The Book of Common Prayer
Each year the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) conducts an annual meeting (Synod) with delegate representation from the Clerical Order and from the Lay Order. Our Rector is a member of the Clerical Order and Immanuel can elect three delegates and an alternate delegate to the Lay Order.
Synod this year is being held in Fairfax, VA at Truro Anglican Church on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14. Anyone can attend but only delegates can vote.
Each delegate and alternate shall be an eligible voter in the congregation they represent and need to be confirmed or received by a Bishop of the Province or another province of the Anglican Communion. Additionally, delegates must be willing to affirm the Fundamental Declarations of the Diocese and affirm Title II, Canon 5 of the Diocese Canons. These documents can be provided upon request.
Please prayerfully consider nominating yourself or others. If you wish to nominate others, please ask for their agreement to serve. Nominations should be presented to one of the election committee members, Jerry Fitzsimmons or Monika Dew at office@iachurch.org.
