Vacancy in See Committee 2009 Elections
Following the election of a new Diocesan Synod, members of Synod are required to elect representatives to the Diocesan Vacancy in See Committee. The Vacancy in See Committee meets when there is a vacancy in the See of London, i.e. should the post of Bishop of London become vacant. The Committee prepares a statement of the needs of the Diocese for consideration by the Crown Nominations Commission of the General Synod, and appoints a number of its members to represent the Diocese on the Commission.
