Following the appointment of Esther Prior as the Bishop of Aston, there is now a vacancy in the House of Clergy on General Synod representing Guildford Diocese.
The by-election of ONE person to represent the Clergy of the Diocese on General Synod is, therefore, required and qualified clergy members of Deanery Synods will be invited to nominate candidates.
The By-election will be administered by Civica Election Services (CES) on behalf of the Diocese of Guildford.
