WikiProject Anglicanism To-do:

I removed the following text, not germane to this page, but which might someday be incorporated into a putative article on the General Synod of the Church of Ireland. Doops | talk 06:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

This decline in population, particularly in the south and west has not been reflected in the General Synod representation allocated to each diocese. As a result, sparsely-populated areas enjoy a greater say in the decision-making process of the church than their numbers would permit, if representation was based on membership. This has been perceived as an injustice, by many in the more populous areas of the church, but to date the General Synod has voted against proposals to base membership on a proportional population basis.
