The Archbishop of Canterbury, Head of the Church of England, is an important member of society. The Church of England is active in politics mainly through its involvement with Parliament. This includes

26 Bishops in the House of Lords, Second Church Estates Commissioner. The Ecclesiastical Committee of Parliament comprises 30 members; 15 drawn from the House of Commons and 15 from the House of Lords. Members, who are by convention backbenchers, are appointed by the Speaker of each House early in a Parliament, and usually remain on the Committee for the life of the Parliament. The Speaker's Chaplain says the prayers for Parliament in the Chamber each day at the beginning of the day's business
