The chancellor refused a faculty for the introduction of an article that would serve both as an altar and as a table for serving refreshments. He held that what was proposed would be contrary to paragraph 2 of Canon F 2, which requires the holy table to ‘be kept in a sufficient and seemly manner’. The chancellor additionally referred to the judgment of the Court of Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved in Re St Stephen, Walbrook [1987] Fam 146, in which the nature of the eucharistic sacrifice was discussed.
