Church Of England

EDM number 1585 in 2002-03, proposed by Paul Marsden on 14/07/2003.

That this House condemns the appalling homophobia in the Church of England which has forced the proposed Bishop of Reading, Canon Jeffrey John, to stand down; believes that in the 21st century such open prejudice should not be tolerated anywhere; and expresses its real disappointment in the Archbishop of Canterbury for failing to stand up to this bigotry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
