The Crown Nominations Commission (CNC) has not been able to agree on who should be the next Bishop of Carlisle, it was announced on Friday. A new nomination is unlikely to be made for more than a year.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Archbishop of York said that, \u201cvery sadly\u201d, the CNC had \u201cnot been able to reach the level of consensus required to nominate a new Diocesan Bishop\u201d for Carlisle.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the course of the next months,\u201d Archbishop Cottrell continued, \u201cthe Crown Nominations Commission will need to reflect, and make a decision about which stage it wishes to recommence the discernment process. This is not likely to be before the Spring of 2025,\u201d Archbishop Cottrell said.<\/p>\n
The Commission, which nominates diocesan bishops to the Crown, comprises both Archbishops, six representatives from the diocese, and six members of the General Synod.<\/p>\n
