Yet again the church is out of touch, with general opinion.

How about the bishops leave the UK as they don't agree with the majority of the British public . We don't want any of them here its only because of the loony left using the death of the 3 year old boy drowning Cameron was forced into letting any in.

So house them in church properties and feed them with church money. Lets see if the Bishops would be prepared to put their money where their mouth is

Perhaps the Church of England should think about what it's future would be under is lam ice rule. For that is where we are headed, if we don't stop this flood.
Rick, Lincoln, United Kingdom
anyone who wants these here should be forced to take them in at there own expense without them getting any tax payers money, bet they would soon change there tune.

The Church of England has become an irrelevance to most ordinary people, these bishops are completely out of touch
BELCHER, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Imagine the outcry if Starbucks, Amazon or Google started telling the UK government how they should spend tax payers' money. The CoE should start paying taxes before they start handing out opinions on how it is spent.

AGAIN !!! The failing church poking its rich nose into non religious areas trying to stay in the limelight

How about these people stick to preaching the scriptures and keep their ignorance of the real world out of the lives of the rest of us.

These idiot bishops are out of their mind. Even the majority of commentators on the Guardian's CiF are saying there are far too many fake refugees coming into Europe.

They have not got a clue they will wipe out the church in this country.

The Church of "England" wonders why the pews the are empty.

Perhaps the very rich church could help out themselves or do they just want to dictate what others should do?

Signed by 84 bishops. They can personally rehouse them then if they are that bothered.
steve, Birmingham, United Kingdom
The church of England should keep its mouth shut
Angry of london, london, United Kingdom
Because they believe the taxpayer should slog their guts out more to fund their priests as do the government. It never comes out of their own pockets.
KP, Warrington UK
84 bishops representing a few hundred clergy ? The vast majority of British people don't want to take in any refugees from Syria or anywhere else .
J Jones, Chester, United Kingdom
Eighty odd idiots are they going to open their cathedral's to house them and what's all this rubbish that the British public want more is this more propaganda every one I spoke to wants none of them.
Veritas, Avalon, United Kingdom
Get stuffed C of E... you''ll come to regret that stance when they're roasting you in ovens for being Christians... eejots...
Hardyeboy, Weymouth, United Kingdom
Just make sure they are the very needy Chris tian ones and don't go inviting wolves into the sheep fold.
Bilbo Mactavish, Bradford, United Kingdom
They should be looking after the Christian population, not trying to destroy us.
David, North Yorks, United Kingdom
I wonder whether or not these Bishops are going to foot the Bill for all these extra refugees. Some how I think not.
Plotty, Northants
So the Church of England are even trying to "DIMINISH CHRISTIANITY IN OUR OWN COUNTRY? And since when have they had a say in our politics? They are supposed to look after the Christian faith, not throw it away.
grunga, London, United Kingdom
THESE BISHOPS ARE IDIOTS. WE TOOK IN 6 4 0 000 IMM IG RANT S LAST YEAR ALONE. SO BUT OUT WITH THE STUPID COMMENTS.
RW, LONDON, United Kingdom
Why does the dying CofE need over 100 bishops? - most of whom seem to be an extension of Corbyn's far left
bill, Lowestoft
Did not read of these people writing to Cameron ,About trying to help our own homeless people who have been living on the streets for years now .
John, Glasgow, United Kingdom
Go for it Bishops..... Welcome all these 'refugees' of other cultures and faiths to our 'very non-Christian' country. watch their religions grow in our tolerant society while your Christian beliefs shrink in size. Remove your churches and give up your land to build houses for them and then come back in ten or twenty years to see where you all went wrong. KEEP OUT OF POLITICS unless you show me one of you walking on water or feeding 5,000 people with two loaves and five fish.
