[Magdalen] AC of C General Synod

[Kristin Rollins]

Have you (or anybody else) seen anything about any livestreaming this

Just wondering whether I will be able to see what happens myself or
whether I'll have to reply on news reports, press releases, and whatever
you have time and energy to share here?

Kristin
