In the light of the President's addendum, what recommended action can a parishioner or group of parishioners take to ensure compliance with the standards of worship and doctrine set out in the fundamental declarations of our Constitution, in cases where clergy and/or authorised assistants are dispensing with the use of the Prayer Book or other approved services, or are even using services for which permission was specifically refused?
To which the President replied -
Concerns about the services being conducted in a parish should first be raised with the minister. If the issue is not resolved, the churchwardens, and then the Regional Bishop, should be consulted. Our ordinances provide mechanisms for the resolution of such disputes if they cannot be resolved at the local level.
Any variations to authorised orders of service must be consistent with the standards of worship and doctrine of our Church.
