Sy Bear

I'm the original Synod Bear. Picked out of the hug of teddies at the Mothers' Union table at General Synod, Adelaide 1 July 2014.

Oz Census today. Sheepy arrived a whole day earlier at General Synod but are folks there counting sheep? #GS19

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

Just 4 more sleeps! My human shows me the President of Mothers Union will be at General Synod. Will she bring my other friends? #GS19 #generalsynod #gensynod2026

@AustAnglican I think I now understand what it means when humans tell me they are vastly more intelligent than (mere) bears in “cumulative culture”!

@AustAnglican Albert Park Victoria to become the suburb with highest number of Anglicans on #ozcensus2026 night? #GS19 #GenSyd2026

The season is not really fit for ending my hibernation but it’s my XAnniversary and there’s a General Synod very soon in Melbourne Australia! What’s up, folks? Or should I just hit snooze? #GenSynod

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

That hymn in Arabic was wonderful. #melbsynod You should all sing it again!

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

Is it time yet? #synod

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

@StPaulsCathMelb Feeling sorry that I missed this. 😢But so pleased 😊a whole hug of teddies were there for an important cause.

Melb Anglicans have pleaded to Vic Gov not to legalise #assistedsuicide & #euthanasia as bill clears first hurdle

Teddy bear picnics as ministry presences, I say! Surely we’d will want that!? #melbsynod

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

Did you just make it possible for me to be an Anglican ministry presence too? #melbsynod Excited! 😊

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

Missionary bear ... 🙂

@AustAnglican @sydsynodmemes Who am I? I am exactly who I say I am! 😄

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

What to do to be allowed to be entertained further by @sydsynodmemes? I was just working up some suitable bearish memes in reply! 😞

@davidould A walk or two: https://t.co/ADgm1W2tIb

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

@AustAnglican "Glossaries" ... how many do they need? 🙄

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

@GenSecSynod Salute you and your team 👍🏼
(Bears like me don't draw breath either, but we have had a less to do than you)

@tyroleanlass @SKHMelb Great to see this! ���

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

@tyroleanlass @GenSynod17 Oh, I see that now ... "void" is most definitely a clever one syllable word instead of "lacuna! 😄

[Sy Bear @SyNodBear]

@SKHMelb @tyroleanlass @GenSynod17 - For your stats, make that "House of Bears - 3" 🙂
