General Synod / Te Hīnota Whānui
Stewards Programme



Youth have had an excellent opportunity to participate at the meeting of General Synod in 2006 through a programme called "Te Pononga", providing training and support to Youth stewards at GS06.

"The work of the stewards is essential to the success of the Synod," said Andrew Tamihere (Steward Coordinator). "We want to show our support for Synod through service". "We also want to show our support for the stewards by serving them also, offering opportunities for learning, and being alongside them through the week".

Stewards at GS06 provide support for Synod staff by doing a number of tasks including photocopying, welcoming guests, providing media support, and general help. These stewards will also be helping to facilitate daily Bible Studies for all delegates, and observing and reflecting on the work of this Synod. Reflections from the stewards will be posted online and shared amongst our youth netwroks.

The stewards have been presented with a comprehensive programme of training and support, including daily briefing on the agenda and progress of this Synod, as well the opportunity to "buddy" with Bishops and delegates experienced in the life of General Synod.
