We welcome the publication of the Bloom Review, ‘Does government Do God?’ and the affirmation it gives to the significant role faith communities play in the fabric of society. There is much here for leaders from religious organisations, civic bodies and the public sector to reflect on and consider the implications for our ongoing work and relationships. At the Church of England in Birmingham we look forward to engaging with the findings and recommendations to explore issues of common cause and constructive dialogue around areas where we think there is still work to be done.
The Rt Revd Anne Hollinghurst
Bishop of Aston and Acting Bishop of Birmingham
