The Rev Dr Glenn Davies - adoption of General Synod canons 1999

        5. The Rev Dr Glenn N Davies asked -

        Has any General Synod Canon been adopted by the Diocese of Sydney, where the adopting ordinance has amended the canon, other than by way of regulations so authorised by the canon? If so, which canons?

        To which the President replied -

        Since 1962 the Synod of the Diocese of Sydney has adopted 46 canons of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia. In 2 cases, the adopting ordinance also makes regulations pursuant to an express power in the relevant canon. In no case has the adopting ordinance purported to amend the relevant canon.
