[Church of England Newspaper] May 5, 2006--The minister who was stripped of his licence after going ahead with irregular ordinations in the diocese of Southwark was this week appealing against the decision. The Rev Richard Coekin, minister of Dundonald Church in Wimbledon and senior pastor of the ‘Co-Missions Initiative’ group of churches in London, exercised his right of appeal after the Bishop of Southwark, the Rt Rev Tom Butler, removed his licence last November. The appeal was being presided over by the Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt, at St Dunstan’s-in-the-West Church in Fleet Street, London.
