After failing to reach agreement on a new bishop earlier this year the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle will meet next month to vote again.

In March, five candidates were considered to replace retired bishop Brian Farran but none of them received enough votes.

The synod will be considering just one person this time, Northern Territory bishop Greg Thompson.

Assistant bishop of the Newcastle Diocese Peter Stuart says the synod will be held next month on September 14.
