A Bill which, if passed, will mandate diocesan synods to make regulations relating to the keeping of written records of its own proceedings and the proceedings of diocesan councils, general vestries, select vestries, boards of nomination and cathedral chapters within the diocese and for the authentication and safe keeping of those records.

Bill No 7 to amend Chapter II and Chapter VII of the Constitution was proposed by the Ven Robin Bantry which he said seeks to restrict a too great a dependence on electronic media in the keeping of parochial records.

The Bill passed the first and second stages and will receive its third reading on Saturday.
