At the recent Synod (September 2024), the Bishop presented a position paper on the Role of Women in the Anglican Diocese of Armidale. In the paper he seeks “to explore the way Christian men and women can partner together in ministry, to grow and build Christ’s church in accordance with the Scriptures” (Bishop’s synod address, p9). This was in preparation for employing a Diocesan Deacon for Women. Everything is now ready for the role to begin in January 2025 – the new Deacon for Women will be announced in December (look out for the December 2024 – January 2025 edition of The Link!).
