Vacancy in See Committee (ViSC) - Diocesan Synod election of lay Committee Members
In the event of the vacancy or impending vacancy of the See of Coventry, the ViSC has two key roles - to prepare a document setting out a profile of the diocese, and to elect diocesan representatives to the Crown Nominations Commission who will shortlist and interview prospective appointments.
Membership will run from 1 January 2025 (or the date of election) to 31 December 2027. Whilst the Committee is in existence at all times, it only meets should there be a vacancy.
Diocesan Synod are asked to elect three lay members to the ViSC, to fill the casual vacancies remaining after the 2024 election of members. Candidates must be nominated by Diocesan Synod members but do not necessarily need to be Diocesan Synod members themselves.
Further information about the role can be found here, or by contacting elections@coventry.anglican.org
Completed nomination forms should be returned to elections@coventry.anglican.org
