The Synod of Ely, led by Bishop Simon Langham, outlines critical directives for parish priests and clergy to ensure the spiritual health of their congregations. It emphasizes the necessity of understanding and teaching the Ten Commandments, the seven deadly sins, and the sacraments, particularly focusing on the Eucharist. The document calls for reverence in the handling of the sacraments, diligent pastoral care for the sick, and proper conduct in church services. Additionally, it stresses the importance of educating children in the faith and maintaining moral purity among clergy, prohibiting certain behaviors to uphold the sanctity of their roles.
