To clarify. In Wales, we have the Church in Wales (CiW which was disestablished in the 1920 in the 1914 Church in Wales Act.
Beginning in the 1980s, the CiW embarked on an increasingly open stand on various issues including economic justice, the ordination of women and inclusion of homosexual people which makes the CiW significantly more liberal than the CoE.

@TCMuffin @wood5y @harriettmb I know very little about the Church of Scotland or any of its many offshoots. They do exist though. Just not in government.

@TCMuffin @wood5y @harriettmb I don't think there should be a house of Lords. The whole thing is pish.

I agree that clerics have no place in the House of Lords.

@epistatacadam @TCMuffin @wood5y @harriettmb 1. England isn't a nation. 2. The Church of England doesn't even represent most people in England, never mind in the UK. 3. The House of Lords is mince.

@TCMuffin @wood5y @CloudyMrs @harriettmb I think there is a useful role for having spiritual thinkers in any nations revising chamber. They generally take a longer term view of matters, though how we get such people in is as yet an answered question, but successful hierarchy climbers of one selected religion must be the worst way!
