THE proposal to unite three dioceses in Yorkshire will be put
before General Synod in July, the Archbishop of York announced on
Thursday, despite its rejection by the diocese of Wakefield.
The Dioceses Commission Draft Reorganisation Scheme has been
approved by all of the affected dioceses - Bradford, Ripon &
Leeds, Sheffield, and Blackburn - except Wakefield, where it was
rejected by 76 votes to 40.
