Will the Dean advise the Assembly –

Answer
A final draft of the Canons of the Church of England in Jersey, which includes the necessary Canon to allow women to be bishops in the Deanery of Jersey, was approved by the Bishop of Salisbury on 4th June 2021. The draft Canons will go before the Deanery Synod on 29th June for their approval and will be brought before the States Assembly at the earliest opportunity thereafter.
