Background

On 10 June 2021, the General Church Board resolved to conduct the Convention of General Synod partly online.

Taking into account the extraordinary circumstances relating to COVID-19, the GCB unanimously agreed to hold the 20th regular Convention of General Synod in two parts:

• an online meeting in early October 2021, which will then be adjourned until
• the meeting resumes in-person at a location to be determined in September or October 2022.

Due to difficulties procuring a venue for late 2022, in October 2021 the General Church Board approved moving the in-person sessions of the 20th Convention of General Synod to February 2023.
