Bishop’s Diocesan Council

The Bishop’s Diocesan Council operates on behalf of Diocesan Synod between meetings, and is responsible for arranging the implementation and monitoring of synodically agreed policy for the diocese. There are three separate statutory bodies which make up the Council: the Bishop’s Council & Standing Committee, the Diocesan Mission and Pastoral Committee, and the Executive of the Diocesan Board of Finance. These three bodies have a common membership and meet at the same time and place.
