Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book questions why Bishops continue to hold seats in the House of Lords, arguing that their continued presence there is no longer in the best interests of the Church of England. The author discusses the diminished influence of the Church of England over its members and how the Churchâs attachment to its accidents, rather than its essence, is a contributing factor to this. The secularisation of many clergy, particularly those in senior leadership, is also examined as a significant factor. The author argues that the churchâs true character as a branch of the Church Catholic is misrepresented by the involvement of Bishops in secular politics and that the spiritual authority of the Church and its leaders is undermined as a result. The book concludes with an urgent call for the Church of England to release itself from the secular responsibilities and burdens acquired over time and return to its primary focus as a spiritual leader in society.
