From The BBCThe Archbishop of Canterbury has been asked to help reconcile Jersey's Dean and the Diocese of Winchester.
The Dean, the Very Reverend Bob Key, was suspended by the Bishop of Winchester over his handling of a vulnerable adult's complaint he was abused by a churchwarden.
Archbishop Justin Welby said he would not intervene in the bishop's handling of the situation.
Senator Philip Bailhache said the move could hit island and church relations.
'Christians concerned'
The Bishop of Winchester, Tim Dakin, withdrew Mr Key's commission in March.
It followed the publication of a diocesan report which found failures in the implementation of policies relating to a complaint by a vulnerable adult parishioner in 2008 about the alleged abusive behaviour of a churchwarden.
