The letter from the Church of England bishops concerning the forthcoming election emphasises the importance of the common good:

“Unless a political vision emerges which reaffirms the bonds which tie us together as a nation, as localities, as communities and as neighbours, we shall be left with the spectacle of politicians claiming more and more powers and yet achieving less and less that is worthwhile.”

A quotation from a letter by Church of England bishops concerning the forthcoming election:

“The purpose of education is not simply to prepare people to be economic units but to nurture their ability to flourish as themselves and to seek the flourishing of others.”
