EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Resolution)
This Resolution amends the Church Representation Rules as set out in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969.
Paragraph 2 provides that, where a person has been unable for reasons connected with coronavirus to receive Holy Communion at least three times in the past year, that does not disqualify the person from standing for election to the House of Laity of the General Synod.
Paragraph 3 provides that there will not be a limit on the number of terms that a parochial representative of the laity may serve on deanery synod, unless the annual parochial church meeting resolves to impose such a limit. The resolution would specify what the limit is to be.
Paragraph 4 corrects a drafting error in Form M1 by amending the form of notice of the annual parochial church meeting so as to include a space for the time at which the meeting is to be held.
