 DISPENSATIONS, PRIVILEGES, AND THE CONFERMENT OF GRADUATE STATUS: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO LAMBETH DEGREES
In the Purchas case, the Lambeth degree was awarded as a personal privilege to allow Purchas the status to which it was thought he was entitled, while in Layfield’s case, it was given to avoid the consequences of a specific statute, thus allowing Layfield to hold an office to which he was strictly unqualified.

 IS RECEPTION REALLY OPEN
3 By Lambeth 1988 the question had moved to the consideration of women as bishops because in 1985 the Episcopal Church of the United States of America (ECUSA) expressed the intention not to withhold consent to the election of a bishop on the grounds of gender.
The extent of the response signifies first of all that there is still a high degree of interest in the issues around women’s ordination particularly to the episcopate.
The very fact that neither Resolution 21 of the 1978 Lambeth Conference on the ordination of women to the priesthood, nor Resolution 2 of the 1988 Lambeth Conference on women in the episcopate, determined the issue of women’s ordination, supports the view that open reception cannot mean automatic acceptance.

Shaw responded that the profession was protecting itself with the examination system that: 'annually lets loose the most disastrous duffers into the sick rooms of the nation'.
The medical authorities would not yield, and even though Barker had the support of many eminent doctors, they did not command a majority on the General Medical Council, which is responsible for the enrolment and discipline of doctors in the UK.
The GMC claimed that to award the Lambeth degree to Barker was the thin end of the wedge, and this would lead to an avalanche of bone-setters.
