The chancellor refused to grant a faculty for the introduction of an aumbry on the basis that to do so would be to facilitate an illegal rite. The aumbry was intended to be used to store the consecrated elements from the preceding Sunday service for use in what was termed ‘Communion by Extension’ at Wednesday morning services. The chancellor referred to Canon B2 and the House of Bishops' Guidelines on Public Worship with Communion by Extension (October 2000). He concluded that the arrangements in place could not amount to Communion by Extension, given the greater than minimal interval between the services. He further held that the proposed arrangements could not amount to a variation ‘not of substantial importance’ under Canon B 5 and thus the proposed rite was illegal. [RA]
