Diocesan Doctrine Commission
The Diocesan Doctrine Commission prepares reports on important theological issues confronting the Diocese. Topics may include specific doctrinal debates within the Church itself or issues confronting society more broadly.
A report is initiated when the Archbishop, Synod or Standing Committee requests a theologically-informed consideration of a particular matter. Once completed, the report is presented to the requesting body and published.
Constitution and Current Membership
The Doctrine Commission was constituted by the Archbishop as a result of a request from Synod in 1981 and consists of ten members appointed by the Archbishop every three years in consultation with the Standing Committee.
Current members of the Doctrine Commission are:
