House of Clergy

The House of Clergy is one of the two houses in the Parliament of the Church of England, the other being the House of Laity. It represents the clergy, or church leaders, such as bishops and priests, and plays a role in shaping church policy and governance. Members discuss issues affecting the Church, propose legislation, and vote on matters including doctrine and governance. This structure reflects a balance between the clergy and laypeople, ensuring that both perspectives contribute to the Church's decision-making processes. It serves as a vital component of the Church's democratic framework.
