ANGLICAN SYNOD
DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN The twenty-eighth Synod of the Diocese of Dunedin was opened yesterday, with about 80 members attending. Synod will meet each day till the business is concluded on Friday night. When the adjournment was taken yesterday afternoon, discussion had been centred on a report of a special subcommittee appointed to frame regulations for a diocese motor car fund. The committee, in its report, considered that the original proposal that each cure should have its own motor car fund was preferable to the establishment of a diocesan motor car fund. A subsequent notice of motion seeks to have repealed the Synod resolution for a diocese motor car fund. Four bills seeking amendments to statutes were introduced and read a first time. The bills stand in the name of Mr W. E. Earnshaw, to amend the General Church Fund Statute, 1892; Mr A. H. Allen, to amend the Regulation of Parishes Statute. 1899; Mr J. T. Dawson, to amend sundry statutes; the Rev. R. Newcombe. to amend the Clergy Pension Fund Statute, 1925.
A Synod service was held in St. Paul’s Cathedral last night when the sermon was given by the Rev. W. W. L. Powell (Milton).
