Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Ripon and Leeds (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitution.
Constitution
My Lords, I welcome the comments in the Statement about the senior posts within the Church of England. Will the Minister reaffirm, in the context of the comment on no change to establishment, both the importance of the responsibility of the Church to the nation expressed partly, but by no means wholly, in membership of this House and the importance of some greater independence for the Church of England in making those recommendations to the Crown for senior appointments? There is still a good deal of work to be done with the General Synod in putting together those two important requirements.
