A leading evangelical in the Church of England says the process by which the next Archbishop of Canterbury will be appointed is "confusing" and "lacking in transparency".
Andrew Goddard, a member of the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC), has raised major questions and concerns about the process by which the new archbishop will be appointed.
It follows the House of Bishops’ failed attempt to secure General Synod’s approval of its proposed changes to the decision-making process of the Crown Nominations Commission (a group of church leaders and lay people who recommend candidates for vacant diocesan Sees in the Church of England).
