[The Church of England Newspaper] December 23, 2005--Sydney’s Standing Committee has rebuffed a plea from its Primate not to plant churches in other dioceses of the Anglican Church of Australia and has written to the Bishop of Southwark asking him to reconsider his censure of the Rev Richard Coekin. Archbishop Phillip Aspinall asked Sydney to defer implementation until July 2006 of the “Affiliated Churches Ordinance” passed at the October meeting of Synod.
