Proceedings 2001

They also contain lists of officers and members of the Synod as well as a summary of some reports in relation to the Synod's finances and statutory bodies. They are particularly useful to see what the Church's view is on many social issues.

They therefore do not include any information about the worship, socialising, interaction, debate, conversation, argument, rejoicing, praying and giving thanks to God the Creator and Redeemer which are a large part of any meeting.
