For the first time in its history the Church of Ireland’s General Synod (annual conference) will take place in Co Wexford as it comes to Clayton Whites Hotel from Friday, May 12 to Saturday, May 13. This will be the third meeting of the 52nd General Synod, it first met in 1871 in Dublin following the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland (COI), and in recent years General Synod has met in several different towns and cities around the island of Ireland.
