As head of Spiritual welfare within the Church of England I bring this petition to your attention and ask you to address the lack of spiritual wellbeing within the hereford Diocese. Paddy Bensons response to peoples complaints regarding Neil patterson and his involvment with local hunts (which are shown to break the law and have been involved in the most horrendous cruelty towards fox cubs) has been wholly inadequate and completely spiritually bereft of respect towards animal lovers and lacking in compassion. Compassion surely has the be the bed rock of your faith. The church of England should not be bringing fox hunt meets to its church. The church should be a place of peace. people need faith over bloodsports. You write that you strive to make the church a safe place for all but your own vicars are hosting fox hunting meets at your churchs. http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5756/ensuring-the-church-is-a-place-safe-for-all-archbishop-writes-for-crucible-journal.
