Noting the long-standing and valued support of our diocese for the ministry and mission of the Church of England in South Africa, and the hope of increasingly good relations between it and the Church of the Province of South Africa to which Your Grace made mention in your Presidential Address, and noting the hope of some that other independent Anglican churches not at present in communion with Canterbury might be enabled eventually to be included within its fellowship, I ask nonetheless if those in our diocese involved in these matters have noted the view of the Late Professor Peter Hinchcliff in his studies of the South African Church and of Bishop Colenso that there is no historical, legal, constitutional, or canonical link between the Church of England in Natal, associated with Bishop Colenso, in communion with Canterbury and now extinct, and the present Church of England in South Africa?
