The United Kingdom has an official state church, so it only makes sense that clerical leaders be included in the legislature right next to the judicial and secular leaders. It is such an important part of their polity that Sir Tony Blair did not officially convert to Catholicism until he was no longer prime minister. The PM plays a role in the governance of the Church of England, so Blair felt it necessary that the role be carried out by a member of the Church.

There are two countries in the world where clerics get automatic seats in the legislature. The UK is one, Iran is the other. Abolish this nonsense NOW.

Another nail in the Anglican Church. Timothy 2:2.

You're looking for 1 Timothy 2:12, but your heart's in the right place.

Sectarianism is ingrained, how do you think the situation in Northern Ireland prevailed for so long.

I am not church of England I am a B artist ,but I think having these clergy in the Lords always make sure of the Christian voice in a secular society.
