The Synod of Chelsea under King Offa, emphasized the importance of adhering to the Nicene faith and mandates annual examinations for presbyters to ensure proper education of the congregation. It outlines the conditions for administering baptism and the responsibilities of godparents. Furthermore, it establishes that bishops should convene synods biannually and visit their parishes to correct sins and provide guidance. The text stresses the need for bishops to actively care for their flocks, uphold canonical traditions, and act against sinful behavior, invoking the duty of church leaders to prioritize spiritual welfare over worldly concerns.
