The October 2018 Synod meeting adopted a new policy for authorising lay presidency at the sacraments. The policy document is linked below. Churches wishing to use lay presidents must speak with their Area Minister well in advance so that the proper appointment process is followed. Unless an ordained Minister of Word & Sacraments or a properly authorised lay president ("Authorised Elder") is available to preside, churches are not authorised to celebrate the sacraments, except when there is a genuine short-notice unavailability for someone who was otherwise authorised to preside
