General Synod Representatives

I am passionate about the gospel and a faith that lives within the community, not held by a building. I believe that the Bible is the living word of God, to be experienced afresh daily and it is through this informing that Christians shape their lives and the world around them.

If you want someone in General Synod who is intensely aware of his own vulnerability and the needs of being a normal parish priest in a socially and economically varied diocese with a proven track record of challenging from a position of discernment then please put your cross against my name.

The Church of England is governed by General Synod and its rulings affect us all – those who attend an Anglican church regularly but equally important, those whose contact is more casual. I believe that it is important that the members of General Synod have detailed experience of diocesan, deanery as well as parish life, in order that decisions are based on a close connection with grass roots experience, set within an appreciation of the wider significance.

I was privileged to serve as one of your representatives on General Synod from 2005 to 2010 and am now seeking your support for my election for a further five-year term.

My name is Susie Leafe. I live, work and worship in Fowey and have been married to Dan for 18 years.

I have been privileged to serve in the Diocese of Truro for 12 years, currently as Priest-in-charge of Paul and across the parishes of the Penlee Cluster in Penwith.
