<p>The Lambeth Working Group on the Review of the Clergy Discipline Measure, chaired
by the former Bishop at Lambeth, presented its final paper to the General Synod in
July 2021. That paper recommended that the Clergy Discipline Measure be replaced by
new legislation which provides for a wider approach to issues of discipline, including
the creation of a system which allows for the determination of lesser types of misconduct
and grievance. This work is now being taken forward by a smaller Implementation Group,
chaired by the Bishop of Worcester. That Group intends to finalise their proposals
over the coming months and consult with various interested bodies between February
and May 2022 with a view to presenting detailed legislative proposals to General Synod
in July 2022.</p>
