Report Calls For Understanding Church of England's Role In Welfare System

In Britain earlier this week, the Von Hugel Institute issued a report that had been commissioned by Rt Rev Stephen Lowe, the Church of England's Bishop for Urban Life and Faith. The report, titled Moral, But No Compass Government, Church and the Future of Welfare, calls for increased understanding of the Church of England's role in delivery of welfare services. (Church of England press release.) The report, available for purchase, is summarized by its publisher. Last Sunday, just before the release of the report, Ekklesia reported on interviews with the report's authors.
