Clergy pay and redress for abuse survivors on synod agenda

General Synod

from Religion Media Centre

The agenda for the general synod meeting in York also includes a debate on the Church of England’s recently announced £1.6 billion three-year national spending plans and a request for Synod to approve proposals to increase clergy pensions. Legislation to set up the redress scheme for victims and survivors of church-related abuse will be discussed, and time will be given to considering church growth and outreach.
