Judgment reversed in Jenkins v Cook Privy Council case
The Privy Council reversed the Dean of Arches and ruled the parishioner Jenkins was improperly denied Holy Communion. It held the church's law and canon limits do not override the lay parishioner’s right to partake, urging that national conscience guide ecclesiastical duty and cautioning clergy against private interpretation.
