12. The Rev Barry Dudding asked -

(a) How many people, ordained in the Diocese of Sydney, before going overseas as missionaries, have returned home to reside permanently in Sydney in the last 3 years?

(b) How many of this number have been able to find a position in parish ministry in this Diocese?

To which the President replied -

This question is out of order under Standing Order 27 because it does not relate to the business of the Synod or any committee, board or commission of the Synod. Apart from this, there is no information available on this matter.
