CoE takes unprecedented step into politics with election letter
The Church of England has taken an unprecedented step into the political arena, encouraging politicians to offer a "fresh moral vision" for Britain.
In the Pastoral letter, the first of its kind delivered ahead of a general election, the House of Bishops gave Church leaders guidance on advising congregations on issues such as welfare and the economy ahead of the May 7 vote.
David Cameron welcomed the move, saying he was "keen for anyone to intervene in politics".
