The Archbishops\u2019 Council proposes reducing the diocese\u2019s quota from six voting CNC members to three.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it has put forward the more radical suggestion of increasing the voting members from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/anglican-communion\">Anglican Communion<\/a> from one to five.<\/p>\n<p>The new-look CNC would thus comprise: a chair appointed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/prime-minister\">Prime Minister<\/a>; two bishops, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/archbishop-of-york\">Archbishop of York<\/a> if he or she is not a candidate; six central members elected by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/topics\/general-synod\">General Synod<\/a> (three clergy and three lay); three representatives from the Canterbury diocese; and five representatives from the Anglican Communion. The total number of voting members will increase from 16 to 17. In addition, there are the two non-voting appointments secretaries (the Archbishops\u2019 and the Prime Minister\u2019s); also the secretary-general of the Anglican Communion is a non-voting member.<\/p>\n<p>The CNC\u2019s task is to choose two candidates in order of preference. Voting is by secret ballot and successful candidates must gain at least two-thirds of the votes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchtimes.co.uk\/articles\/2022\/21-january\/news\/uk\/communion-is-asked-do-you-want-to-help-choose-the-next-archbishop-of-canterbury\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A concession to Anglicanism&#39;s majority, which don&#39;t live under the English state church.<\/p>\n<p>Communion is asked: Do you want to help choose the next Archbishop of Canterbury?<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PZxgJzocnL\">https:\/\/t.co\/PZxgJzocnL<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/anglican?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#anglican<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/episcopal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#episcopal<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/church?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#church<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/religion?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#religion<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dennis Lennox (@dennislennox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dennislennox\/status\/1483209493861351431?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international consultation has begun to ask whether Anglicans from around the world should have a greater say in the choice of the next Archbishop of Canterbury.
