Petition to cut the excessive number of bishops in the CofE
from Religion Media Centre:
A petition to reduce the number of bishops in the Church of England, has been started on Change.org by a church member in Littlehampton.
John Cockrell says that as a concerned member, he is “deeply troubled by the current state of our beloved institution”.
While parishes struggle due to a lack of sufficient vicars, he says the number of bishops with extravagant lifestyles is excessive. This drains “valuable resources that could be better utilized in training more parish vicars”.
There are 106 bishops plus two archbishops. So far, 276 people have signed the petition – the goal is 500.
