<p>Management of a diocese and the ordering of parishes is a matter for the diocesan
bishop and their senior staff, not the National Church Institutions (NCIs). <br> <br>The
NCIs are aware that in October 2021, 72% of members of the Leicester Diocesan Synod
voted in favour of the Minster Community model. The Church Commissioners, as the appeal
body for any formal parish reorganisation, are unable to comment further as it may
prejudice future decisions of the Mission, Pastoral, and Church Property Committee
should Leicester Diocese decide to bring forward formal parish reorganisation proposals.</p><p>Enquiries
about the Minster Communities plan should be directed to the offices of the Bishop
of Leicester, the Archdeacon of Leicester or the Archdeacon of Loughborough. Contact
details can be found on the diocesan website here: <a href="https://www.leicester.anglican.org/whos-who"
