Novena of prayer for the General Synod
The nine days between Ascension Day and Pentecost, which this year fall between 17 May and 27 May, are traditionally days of prayer for the gift of the Holy Spirit. This year, we are encouraging all Christians in the Church of England to use these days as days of prayer for the General Synod, and in particular for the House of Bishops, who will meet during those days. We pray that ways may be found to ensure that the Church of England remains comprehensive and generous to those of differing convictions on contested questions.

We are a missionary society and we hope to promote our aims through events, services, prayer and mutual support.
