Two documents have been issued to General Synod members, both of which raise concerns about the recommendation in favour of Option 4, as described in GS 2378.
So what happens if, after the February Synod multiple bishops/DBFs and many PCCs write to the Charity Commission to say that the option selected by Synod does not, in their view as trustees, sufficiently allow them to meet their obligations? I can see the good ship Church of England is sailing towards rocks. Again.
