What the petition asks
End the role of Established Churches in the United Kingdom and abolish the positions of the Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords.
We think there should be no place for an Established Church in this country's politics. If the government wants to make this nation more inclusive and tolerant, the Church should no longer have special status.
