By Archdeacon Pryor Every year, each diocese that receives support from the Council of The North is asked to give an account to the “Grants Allocation Committee” of how the money was spent. This “GAC Report” (certainly an unfortunate-sounding name!) includes a number of questions as we show our stewardship of a shrinking amount of support from General Synod for Northern ministry.

Thanks be to God, the accounting errors were corrected in our … Continue reading General Synod forgives miscalculated debt
