The Church of England has repeatedly and consistently failed to act on abuse allegations. Victims and survivors of church-related abuse are persistently re-abused and re-traumatised by systems designed to shut them up and protect the bishops and the Church’s institutions.
By refusing to act in a moral way, the Church of England bishops, as a group, have abrogated their automatic right to seats in the House of Lords. If they can’t police themselves, they should not be involved in making laws for others.
