The General Synod of the Church of England met in York earlier this month. In his opening address, the Archbishop of York shared:

"Jesus is good news for every person and such very good news for our perplexed and anxious world. 

And I do want us to be bolder in this. Bolder, not by shouting louder, but by loving more - and by sharing the joy, beauty and challenge of the gospel; the kind of joy that comes when you hear the beat and rhythm of some music you love, find your feet tapping, your face breaking into a smile, and then, before you've even consciously realised what you’re doing, you’re rising up and joining in the dance yourself. Oh, this is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Medicine for the soul and rhumba for the heart." 

Please look here on the Church of England site, where you can find a round up of each day of the work and decisions at General Synod, and read about some of the key topics discussed in more depth:
