Sarah Teather welcomes House of Bishops Pastoral Letter

Responding to the 2015 General Election Pastoral Letter that was published by the Church of England today, Sarah Teather, MP of Brent Central said:
 
“I agree with the analysis the bishops have made of the problems of politics today. Too much of political decision making is tactical and short term. It is good for Bishops to challenge politicians to think more deeply about what kind of society we want and to broaden our vision.
 
“Irrespective of whether you agree with all of the detail of this report what is certain is that remaking politics is going to require the engagement of all of civil society at different levels. This is not just a job for political activists. Politicians should encourage the intervention of different religious faiths and denominations.”
