Full Election Address Text

Please vote for the Revd. Prieb. Dr TAIWO OLUMUYIWA to serve on General Synod.

My dreams for what Synod might achieve:

• Foster a Church that confidently proclaims Jesus Christ,
rooted in Scripture, and is continually renewed through
the Holy Spirit.
• Embed safeguarding within church culture, ensuring it is
integral rather than regarded solely as a compliance
requirement.
• I am committed to supporting decisions that equip clergy
and lay leaders, promote wise stewardship of resources,
and enable parishes to prioritise worship, discipleship,
pastoral care, and mission.
• Renew commitment to children, young people, and
families
by
engaging
younger
generations
and
introducing innovative approaches to mission, community
engagement, and leadership development.
• Amplify the voices of marginalised and underrepresented
individuals by promoting intercultural understanding and
encouraging active participation.
• Foster a supportive environment that enables clergy and
lay leaders to flourish, particularly under increasing strain,
by strengthening resilience and capacity.

Some things about me:
➢ I have been ordained for
over three decades
➢ I currently serve as Priest in
Charge at St Bartholomew’s
and St Luke’s, Wednesbury.
➢ I serve on several
committee boards within the
Lichfield Diocese.
➢ I am an experienced
theologian and public
administrator with Chartered
Manager status from the
Chartered Management
Institute of England and
Wales.
➢ I am committed to listening
carefully, speaking
constructively, and voting
prayerfully
