The last year the Deanery Synod returned to having face to face meetings at Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxted, although some meetings have remained on Zoom. Minutes off the three Deanery Synod meetings have been included in the APCM pack.
In addition to representation at the Deanery Synod, I became a lay representative for our Deanery at the Southwark Diocesan Synod, a position that currently runs through until July 2024.
We were already a Deanery Synod member down this year following Hillary moving away and, at the end of this year, both Chris Clementi and Bobby Clarke will be standing down from the Deanery Synod. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their time representing St Mary’s over many years.
I now look forward to working with a new Deanery Synod team from St Mary’s into the next year.
