Church of England Assembly Bill

The Church of England Assembly Bill is legislation proposed to establish a formal governing body—called the Church Assembly—and set out its powers, responsibilities, and procedures. This body would oversee church doctrine, administration, and policies, ensuring organized decision-making within the Church. The bill addresses how the church's leadership functions, making rules for its operation, and may also involve governance reforms. Essentially, it provides a legal framework for how the Church of England manages its internal affairs, maintaining its structure, discipline, and autonomy as a religious institution within the legal system.
