10/02/2021 The Rt Revd Tim Thornton is to retire as Bishop at Lambeth after four years in the role.

As Bishop at Lambeth, Bishop Tim has supported the Archbishop of Canterbury’s work in the House of Bishops, General Synod and the Archbishops Council. He has chaired the Development and Appointments Group overseeing the leadership programmes and development work with senior clergy. He has also chaired the review of the Clergy Discipline Measure and provided advice on areas including safeguarding and church renewal.
Flawed clergy discipline is ripe for reform by 11 December 2020
Measure to be proposed would deal with complaints regionally, and be more pragmatic and theologically sound, says

THE main reason for replacing the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963 with the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 (CDM) was that the former was complex, costly, and was leading the Church into disrepute. In 40 years, there had been only four cases determined under its provisions.
Its replacement, the CDM, has opened wide the door: 1179 complaints were registered in 14 years of operation. It is now subject to the same criticisms as its predecessor, and even more so. It is said to be as complex, more costly and still leading the Church into disrepute.
