Various moves are being made to help the wider church and society stay abreast of developments at the 61st General Synod / Te Hinota Whanui, which is being held at Waitangi from this Saturday, May 10, to Thursday, May 16. 

Each day a 'Synod Summary' email will include a few paragraphs on the outcomes of business items covered that day.

Plus there’ll be a rounding-off par which will sketch the coming day’s work.

The Anglican Taonga website www.anglicantaonga.org.nz is where you need to head for wider, in-depth reporting of Synod – as well as to catch photos and text that will give you a glimpse of the colour of the gathering.

The website will also provide a link back to the daily summary. 

And if you’re a fan of social media, we hope to be able to help there, too.

We’ll be on Twitter – with the hashtag #Synod2014 – and sharing photos via Instagram.

On our Twitter feed, we’ll be posting decisions and highlighting stories on the Taonga website.

The provincial Facebook page, Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, will also provide updates on Taonga stories.
