Complete membership lists of General Synod standing committees and the Council of General Synod (COGS) for the new 2010-2013 triennium are now available. At General Synod 2010, new members were elected to these bodies, and since General Synod, the Primate has appointed additional members to standing committees in order to address representational imbalances.
Members of all these bodies provide an important ministry to and for the Anglican Church of Canada. Standing committees guide the work of specific national departments, while COGS oversees the work of General Synod between triennial meetings.
At General Synod 2010 members approved several resolutions that altered COGS membership. They reduced membership from 42 to 31, and extended full voting privileges to nominees from the Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
