Here is a recent twitter feed generated by the Council of General Synod meeting:

Someone had the temerity to ask a pertinent question:

These are the items [along with helpful editorial comments in brackets like these] preoccupying the luminaries in the meeting; could there be a connection between this and falling revenues?

• intentional discipleship; [as opposed to the unintentional discipleship practiced hitherto]

• becoming a post-colonial church; [the real worry should be becoming a post-existing church]

• honouring the emergence of Indigenous churches;

• imagining the church God is calling us to be; [or imagining the church we wish God was calling us to be]

• learnings from the Consultation of Anglican Bishops in Dialogue; [learnings?]

• supporting the witness of the church in Holy Land; [shrivelling to extinction – at least, the Anglican variety]

• sustainable development goals; [advice from an organisation unable to sustain itself]

• migration and human trafficking; [about time: the bishops are planning on taking migrants into their own homes]

• gender-based violence; [we like non-gender-based violence]

• state-sponsored or sanctioned violence; and [except for socialist state sponsored violence. And Islamic state sponsored violence. And communist state sponsored violence. And…. so on]

• interfaith dialogue and collaboration [we really prefer other religions to Christianity]
