On 8th October 2007, the Archbishops published a Consultation Paper on Crown Appointments in the Church of England, to which responses were invited.  Accordingly, the Forward in Faith Legal Working Party met to examine the Consultation Paper in depth and to prepare a response, which it submitted to the Archbishops early in December last year.

As it is planned to debate this matter during the February sessions of General Synod, the Working Party now wishes to share its response with a wider audience;  it can be accessed here. The original Consultation Paper is available here.
