2008 Synod Year
Moravian Church Synods are an assembly of church delegates, including clergy and lay people, who are called together for discussion, decision, and policy-making regarding church matters. Church legislation is enacted by these Synods or general business meetings. Each Province has its own Synod every four years. Every seven years a Unity Synod is held in which representatives from all home and mission provinces assemble. These synods often include times of worship and fellowship and serve as a time of reflection and forethought to the future of the church.
