      <link>http://www.sydneyanglicans.net/ministry/connect09/taking_the_temperature_of_connect09</link>       <description>I’m fairly new to Synod. I’ve been along to hear the Archbishop’s presidential address a few times. And last year I was in the public gallery listening to questions about some new venture he called “Connect09”. Unbeknown to me I’d soon be immersed in the campaign. Funny how things turn out!</description>
