The following draft Bill will be debated during
this years General Synod. For further information on amendments and
passage through General Synod please contact the General Synod Press Office.
BILL NO 13
Explanatory Memorandum
During the past five sessions of General Synod a large number of
statutes providing new forms and orders of service in both
traditional and modern language have been passed. During those years
a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies have arisen between the
different orders of service. This bill seeks to correct these as
well as to simplify and remove duplication which occurred when
presenting separate services in legislation.
In addition it was discovered that there were errors in the
provision of readings for festivals etc. Opportunity is taken to
re-visit a number of these provisions to harmonize the Church of
Ireland provision with that of the sister churches of Wales and
England.
