"At every session of Synod there are calls for more debates on vision, leadership and how we going to evangelise this nation and stem the decline in church attendance - rather than debate internal squabbles and politics. My motion gave Synod a unique opportunity to do that and others will draw their own conclusions."
Mr Eddy believes that his motion was dropped from the York Synod because of concerns over the impact that a debate on the uniqueness of Christ might have on the Lambeth Conference, which would have fallen just under two weeks after his motion was debated.
"Now that Synod has electronic voting, it would have been very easy to show how many of our bishops believed in the uniqueness of Christ as the only means of salvation, something which would have shown the division on orthodox views in the House," he said.
A Church of England spokesperson said, however: "It is not unusual for the General Synod to debate only one Private Member's Motion during its meetings, especially when there are a number of legislative issues to be debated, as there are at this Synod.
"Due to time constraints, the [Business] Committee has been able to schedule only one such motion for July, on the subject of church tourism, which heads the list in terms of the number of signatures from members.
"The motion on the uniqueness of Christ in multi-faith Britain is currently next on the list in terms of signature, and if it heads the list in February, will probably be debated then."
Mr Eddy is to be ordained in June 2009, making the February Synod in London his last opportunity to propose his motion in the Synod chamber.
"The timing of my ordination, and therefore resignation from Synod as a lay member, has not gone unnoticed by those wishing this debate to go away," he said. "In York next month I shall seek to increase the number of supporting members to my motion so that the Business Committee will have a clear 'first' when [deciding] which PMM to table for the February sessions in Westminster, London."
Mr Eddy said he had received assurances from other Synod members that a senior Synod member would table a similar motion in the event that his motion failed to be tabled in the February Synod.
"It will be debated one way or another," he vowed.
