Synod Resources

At April's Synod, our keynote speaker was Emma Richardson, Director of New Churches, who delivered an engaging and interactive session on 'Dual Transformation & Mixed Ecology - a vision that renews the existing church while cultivating New Places for New People'.

The main session was then followed by four different workshops - each one addressing an element of the 'Reaching Out' pillar of the District's mission plan.

Emma, and our workshop leaders have kindly reproduced the slides and presentations used in their workshops, and these are now available below for you to download.
