A row over King Charles's demands for his Coronation has led to the publication of the order of service being delayed.
Just four weeks away from the historic ceremony, discussions remain ongoing over the role that different faiths can play in the constitutional event.
The King is eager to make his Coronation as diverse as possible, with non-Christian faiths given higher prominence in the service than they have previously.
The Coronation will take place on May 6 with plans for it to be the most rooted in long-standing tradition and Christian symbolism version of the event that has ever taken place.
However, it is claimed that Church leaders are resisting some of the monarch's demands.
While there are no concerns about the guest list, plans to let non-Christian faiths play a more active role in the ceremony itself have caused concern.
They are thought to have warned the King that his wishes risk clashing with centuries- old canon law, which bars Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and other faith leaders from reading out prayers during the service.
According to the Mail on Sunday a meeting was held at Lambeth Palace last month at which attendees were told that the aim was to publish the order of service "before Easter, with suitable guidance for the clergy".
But the self-imposed deadline has now been met without plans having been formalised due to the frictions.
A source told the publication that the meeting was conducted with "scrupulous regard for the range of opinion among Anglican clergy".
Charles made his ambitions clear to be a more inclusive monarch almost 30 years ago.
The then-Prince of Wales declared that when he became monarch he wanted to no longer be known as simply "Defender of the Faith" - the title given to all English sovereigns since Henry VIII as head of the Church of England - but rather "Defender of Faith".
Last month, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell released a joint statement in which they said the Coronation "at its centre is a Christian service".
They added that it was "rooted in long-standing tradition and Christian symbolism".
Last night Lambeth Palace and Buckingham Palace released identical statements, which said: "Details about the Coronation service will be released in due course."

Two British-Israeli sisters killed in a shooting in the occupied West Bank have been named as Maia and Rina Dee.
The sisters were killed on Friday afternoon near the Hamra Junction in the north of the Jordan Valley, as they drove to Tiberias.
They were the children of Rabbi Leo Dee, originally from London, who has described the deaths as a "nightmare".
Their mother, Leah, remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Maia was 20 years old and volunteering for national service in a high school, while younger sister Rina was 15.
Their car was driven off the road after being shot at by gunmen while their father had been driving ahead in a separate vehicle. Rabbi Dee heard news of the attack before realising his own family had been involved.
Speaking to the BBC, he described his daughters as "beautiful and wonderful" and said he hadn't been able to sleep since their deaths.
"Every time, I had nightmares and woke up," he said, "but the reality was worse than the nightmare, so I went back to sleep. That's how it went."
The family live in the West Bank settlement Efrat, its mayor has said. The sisters' funeral will be held on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who described the incident as a terror attack, sent his condolences to the family in a tweet naming the sisters.
The UK's chief rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, said that "no words can describe the depth of our shock and sadness at the heart-breaking news".
Writing on Twitter, he said the two sisters were the children of British Rabbi Dee and his wife Lucy, which is understood to be their mother Leah's English name.
"They were much loved in the Hendon and Radlett communities in the UK as well as in Israel, and well beyond," he added.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews said they were "deeply shocked and saddened" at their deaths, adding that their father had previously been rabbi at Radlett United Synagogue in Hertfordshire.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said on Friday he had spoken to his Israeli counterpart, Eli Cohen, following the attacks and that anyone worried about friends or relatives in Israel should contact the Foreign Office.

Israeli police said in a statement that "several law-breaking youths and masked agitators" fortified the mosque "in order to disrupt public order and desecrate the mosque".
"After many and prolonged attempts to get them out by talking to no avail, police forces were forced to enter the compound in order to get them out with the intentions to allow the Fajr [dawn] prayer and to prevent a violent disturbance," it added.
"When the police entered, stones were thrown at them and fireworks were fired from inside the mosque by a large group of agitators."
One officer was injured in the leg by a stone during the clashes, it said.
Video released by the police showed fireworks exploding and lighting up the prayer hall as heavily armed officers in riot gear moved in.
Other footage posted on social media appeared to show an officer using a rifle butt and others using sticks to beat Palestinians on the floor amid shouts and screams.
Pictures of the aftermath showed overturned furniture and prayer mats scattered across the carpet.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has strongly encouraged Jews to visit the Temple Mount holy site during the upcoming Passover festival, which coincides with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims also visit the site.
At the same time, he dissuaded fringe groups from trying to carry out ritual sacrifices of lambs at the site ahead of Passover.
Ben Gvir, in an interview with Channel 12 on Sunday, said Jews have an obligation to visit the location of the two former Jewish temples.
