At the start of the quinquennium 5 years ago, getting information out from synod as quickly as possible was much harder, and this blog was one way to try and fulfil that purpose.
In the July 2008 women bishop's debate, Justin was getting the votes on amendments out on this blog within seconds - this was the fastest place with the news.
Twitter has rather over ridden that now, as comments are now streaming constantly

The live Twitter feed is also available on the panel to the right here>>>
There is even a (not wholly compatible, we'll see what we can do about that) audio feed provided by Premier as well

So much for the instant, the immediate responses to what is going on in the synod chamber. But how about the slightly more considered 'lay' (as opposed to press/news) commentaries? That is where the blogs can help us. They are all very individual, but help add to the bigger picture. here is a list of some of the ones we know of - let us know of others and we will add them to the list:

Don't forget to see today's cartoon in The Guardian. Sums up Synod perfectly.
