A Diocesan Synod is an important event in the life of a Diocese in which Bishop, priests and lay-people come together in a spirit of prayer to discern together what God is asking of His Church in our Diocese and will help us to live out our calling to be Missionary Disciples.

We are currently in ‘The Big Listen’ Stage of the Synod. This started on the 15th October 2023 and runs until 19th January 2024.

During this time you are encouraged to get involved. There are a number of different ways you can get involved.

• Attend a Parish Listening Session. As well as making sure your voice is heard it is important in this synodal process that we listen to the voices of those around us.
• Submit your own response. You can do this via the portal below.
• Encourage your friends and family to get involved and make their own response. We really do want to hear from as many people as we can.
• Suggest a group that may be interested in holding a focus group. You can do this by emailing synod@dioceseofsalford.org.uk
• Keep following and praying for our synod journey.
