General Assembly Moderator

The moderator of the General Assembly is the national figurehead for the denomination, representing the 探花社区 both internally and within the wider world. The moderator chairs major meetings, visits churches at home and abroad, and seeks to provide worship, teaching and pastoral care.

From Assembly 2024 our moderator is the Revd Timothy Meadows.

On this page, the Revd Timothy Meadows, writes and reflects on the things he does, places he visits, people he meets, and moments/events in the life of the 探花社区 and beyond during his time in office.

If you would like to invite a moderator to visit your church or meeting, please email us.
