[EV News] 13 Feb 2008--After prayers the Synod began a day of legislative business with the promulgation of Amending Canon 27. This has to do with Local Ecumenical Projects and Mission Orders under the new Dioceses, Pastoral and Mission Measure. Consent was also given by Synod to changes in the Vacancy in See Regulations.

Pensions Amendment Measure.
The aim of this Measure is to allow the Church Commissioners to expend capital in order to meet their commitments. This power has been authorised twice and expires in 2011 but the draft Measure will extend the power until 2018.
