Petition Action

Remove the Church of England's exemptions from the equalities act.

Additional Information

Since the will of the vast majority of laity and clergy within the Church of England is for women to be bishops and the Church of England is the established church in England isn't it right that it should conform to the law and treat women equally. The government should act to repeal exemptions for the established church, when it comes to gender equality.
