If Cantebury had this much spine years ago, we would indeed be in a different world. As it is, I highly doubt it will sway the Lords Temporal to change their votes. The Church of England as a moral force seems moribund.It’s always great to see a church leader with a spine. Fantastic!

He has been consistent, hasn’t he? He has taken this position all along.
