Synod

Province III is governed by a Synod, made up of the bishops, one clerical, and two lay deputies from each diocese within the province. Synod meets annually in the spring, at which elections are held for Provincial Officers and Executive Council members. Every third year, when the General Convention of the national Episcopal Church is held, Synod helps formulate resolutions for consideration and deputies prepare for Convention.

2020 Synod Meeting: May 4

Be sure to join us on Monday Monday May 4 in Martinsburg, WV at the Holiday Inn for Province III's annual Synod meeting. We will begin at 8:30 am and end by 4 pm.

Followed by Vocational Formation Discussion: May 5

Following Synod, on Tuesday May 5, members of Province III Commissions on Ministry and staff from each diocese will gather to discuss questions such as: how does each diocese does discernment? Where are gaps in the process? What are best practices? How do we recruit for ordination? What kinds of gifts and charismas is the church looking for to take it forward?

For more information, please contact the Province III Coordinator, Pam Cochran.
