YORK, ENGLAND - JULY 11: The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, gives his presidential address to the General Synod at University of York on July 11, 2025 in York, England. The Archbishop of York is presiding over the July General Synod alone as the Church of England has still to appoint someone to the position of Archbishop of Canterbury following the resignation of Justin Welby in November 2024. This Synod will discuss and debate new governance structures for the national Church, Abuse (Redress) Measures, the move to replace the 1991 document "Issues in Human Sexuality" with new guidance to update the Church's approach to human sexuality, especially in the context of LGBTQ+ inclusion, and the church's response to war.
