Synod Moderator

Revd Paul Whittle

Paul WhittleThe roles of the Moderator are many and varied.  Together with the Synod Pastoral Committee I, in a range of ways, offer support and care to ministers and churches and, though the diary is sometimes challenging, try to be available to respond to the needs of both.  I see many good things happening across Eastern Synod and enjoy the challenge of offering a small measure of support to the very many good things that are happening ‘on the ground’.

Together with colleagues who serve as Moderators in the other twelve Synods I have a particular role of introducing prospective ministers and prospective pastorates to each other.  At this point this time we are hosting the URC ministerial vacancies’ Profiles pages which can be accessed by the menu to the left of this page.
