The appellants had sought a faculty for the replacement of fixed pews with stackable pews. The Church had three forms of seating: Victorian and twentieth century fixed pews, and a set of rush-seated chairs. The pleaded petition related to the pews only. The DAC and Historic England both regarded the rush chairs as having historical significance as a reference point to mural paintings by Quentin and Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, which where themselves historically significant. At a hearing of the petition, the appellants’ counsel submitted that their case was ‘all or nothing’ (i.e. that all three sets of seating should be allowed to be replaced, or none at all). On this basis, the court refused the petition as not meeting the Duffield criterion for clear and convincing need. The Arches Court held that whilst the court correctly applied the Duffield framework in principle, it fell into error by applying that framework to an incorrectly presented case. This was because the submission by the appellants’ counsel was not in line with the appellants’ pleaded case, which only referred to the two sets of pews rather than including the rush-seated chairs. Accordingly, it found that the conduct of the original proceedings was fatally flawed. The appeal was allowed and the petition was remitted to the consistory court for re-determination of the original petition. In relation to costs, the Court of Arches noted that counsel for the appellants took responsibility for an error in his submissions which neither the parties nor the Deputy Chancellor spotted. It reached the provisional view that the appellants should bear the costs of the appeal, but granted liberty for written submissions to be put in if the appellants wished to seek to persuade the court otherwise.

The General Assembly of the Church again met in a ‘blended’ form, based from the Assembly Hall. The Moderator of the General Assembly this year was the Rev'd Dr Iain Greenshields, BD PhD, Minister of Dunfermline St Margaret's, Presbytery of Fife. Last year's Moderator was an Elder, rather than a Minister: Lord Wallace of Tankerness, PC QC FRSE. Lord Hodge, Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, was Her Late Majesty The Queen's personal representative to the Assembly as Lord High Commissioner. A brief synopsis of Assembly Business follows.

There is much to address in responding to such a rich and thoughtful range of reflections as given by Bishop Pete in his article published in the previous pages of this Journal. I was asked to respond to that paper from a theological perspective as part of the Ecclesiastical Law Society's 2022 day conference, and this comment piece has been based substantially on that response. So many areas of theological relevance are raised by Bishop Pete: the nature of authority in the Church of England, the role of the bishop, the shortcomings of the synodical process and the legal framework for evangelism.
