Letter: Leadership and priorities in the Church of England
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Last night the Archbishop of Canterbury, with Cardinal Basil Hume and other church leaders were at the St Martin's service in London for the start of the Year of the Family.
This morning you print over 400 words about Dr Carey by Michael De-la-Noy. When did you last publish at similar length an address by the archbishop, or the cardinal?
I recall him speaking at Church House. A television crew there said that nothing would be broadcast. Did I not know that no row is equivalent to no news.
Yours sincerely,
PETER BOTTOMLEY
MP for Eltham (Con)
House of Commons
