Because of the way victims and survivors of church-based abuse treated, I can no longer call it #MyChurchOfEngland.

I long for the day when the Archbishops' Council deals with safeguarding properly, so that news coverage can focus on the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.

Did you know that Mariah Carey shuns turkey for Christmas and opts for roast lamb instead?

All she wants for Christmas is ewe.

Is William Nye, the Secretary General of the Church of England's Archbishop's Council, trying to stop Stephen Cottrell resigning as Archbishop of York because he thinks him staying is good for the Church, or because Cottrell is Nye's last available human shield?

You're not allowed to e-petition the UK parliament on matters that relate to "particular individuals outside of the UK Government or Parliament".

Current e-petitions show this is often ignored.

Yet two petitions from me referencing the Church of England have been blocked.
