Together for the Church of England is working in partnership with the Inclusive Church Network to organise for the 2026 General Synod elections. Many of the barriers to full inclusion need to be resolved through the governance of the Church, and electing a strong diverse and inclusive voice to the General Synod is the best way to advance this aim.
We can support to candidates standing for General Synod who publicly sign up to the following statement:
“We are committed to equality for everyone, at all levels and roles within the church, regardless of disability, economic power, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.”
There is more information about the elections and what you can do in the following resources:
