General Synod delegate details and fees reminder

If your LCANZ parish has not yet submitted your General Synod delegate details and paid your delegate fee, please do so as soon as possible as these are now overdue.

Having elected their delegate/s for the 2024–27 synodical period, parishes are required to return the appointment form to the Secretary of the Church (this was due 31 March 2024). If you have not yet submitted your details for adding to LAMP2, please complete the second page of the delegate appointment form.

If your delegate is unable or unwilling to attend the General Synod in October, your parish will need to appoint an alternate. Please note that an alternate may only be appointed if your delegate’s details are already in LAMP2. In other words, your parish must elect a delegate (even if they are not attending the Synod) before it may appoint an alternate. Please also note that a lay person (not a pastor) must be elected as an alternate for a lay delegate. You can find the Parish Alternate Lay Delegate appointment form here.

Parish General Synod fees were also due on 31 March, so please attend to this if you have not yet done so. The fee, which covers Convention administration and running costs, is $550 (plus GST if appropriate). The fees are charged on a per-delegate basis to parishes whether or not their delegate(s) attends Convention. If your parish did not receive a notification letter or invoice, or if you need more information, please email synod@lca.org.au
