General Synod Memories – Cork, Cloyne and Ross
Missing General Synod? The General Synod of the Church of Ireland was to have been held in Croke Park in Dublin from 7th to 9th May. It has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus.
More Cork, Cloyne and Ross memories of General Synod in recent decades can be recalled here.
On Saturday, the final day of what would have been this year’s May General Synod, Bishop Paul Colton asked that we remember those from Cork Cloyne and Ross who were serving on General Synod when he became Bishop in 1999, or who have served since, but have died.
He said: ‘Every year during the prayers at General Synod we name those who have died since we last met. This year, with time to reflect and pray during the lockdown, I have been remembering those from Cork, Cloyne and Ross who were serving on the General Synod when I became Bishop in 1999, and since, who have died.
‘I’ve put together this short memorial tribute to them with the musical assistance of Peter Stobart, Director of Music at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork.
‘I invite you to join me today in remembering them with thanksgiving before God.
‘May they rest in peace and rise in glory.’
