[Christianity Today UK] 3 Jan 2008--The Church of England has indicated its opposition to Anglican provinces that choose to intervene in other churches without authorisation, saying such actions should only be taken as part of “properly authorised schemes of pastoral oversight”.

The Church's position has been affirmed in a response to the draft Anglican Covenant submitted on Wednesday by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, who are Presidents of the General Synod.
