This year's General Synod, the second meeting of the triennium, was held for the first time in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe. The venue was the Millennium Forum Theatre in the centre of the historic walled city of Derry/Londonderry and a civic reception was held at the Guildhall, hosted by the mayor of Derry City and Strabane District. The Synod considered Bills relating to Holy Communion by extension; liturgical provision for miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death; and diocesan boundaries.
