ALT A gathering of Synod members people seated in a circular arrangement in the chamber in Church House, London. At the center, individuals are seated around tables with microphones. A stage banner reads "Church of England." Attendees are holding papers and some appear to be engaged in discussion.

ALT TODAY AT GENERAL SYNOD 12 JULY 2025 Synod will debate two motions about church finance – one on the Church’s £1.6 billion three-year spending plans; and one calling for national funds to be redistributed directly to local dioceses. Legislation under discussion today includes the National Church Governance Measure which would bring together several national church bodies into a new simpler structure. There will be the first stage of legislation changing how military chaplains are licensed so they can operate more easily as their units travel around. And there are two private member’s motions – one about clergy pensions and one calling for a review of how the House of Bishops operates.
