Appointments Committee

There is provision for the establishment of the Appointments Committee both in the National Institutions Measure 1998 and in the Standing Orders of the General Synod. It is, therefore, a Committee both of the Archbishops' Council and the General Synod and it is responsible for making such appointments and/or recommendations on appointments to synodical and other bodies as the Synod or the Archbishops' Council require.

Appointments include:

• appointments to synodical bodies, such as legislative steering or revision committees, the Standing Orders Committee etc
• appointments to Boards, Councils and Committees of the Archbishops' Council
• representatives of the Synod on the governing bodies of theological training institutions
• representatives of the Synod on the governing bodies of mission agencies (Partnership for World Mission)
• representatives of the Church of England at ecumenical conferences
• representatives of the Church of England at the governing assemblies of other denominations
