November 23 2021 By dvirtue Archbishops' presidential address to General Synod

In John 21 the disciples go fishing. There is no sense that they are doing the wrong thing. Like many here they have to earn a living - put food on the table - so they pursue their trade.

Twenty-six active Church of England bishops sit as "Lords Spiritual" in the House of Lords, and the archbishop of Canterbury spoke of their "unanimity" against the assisted suicide bill.
