@TheCriticMag @DrFrancisYoung Actually Bristol airport does have an indoor multifaith area. I went looking for it once. Signs pointed down a bleak and unwelcoming corridor with nothing at the end. It took me a while to realise the multifaith area actually *is* the corridor.

What is interesting about this is that the House of Bishops now meets in secret (it rarely used to - an innovation of that last 10 yrs). It’s the upper house of a legislature. We should know how close the vote was, how bishops spoke, what their theological arguments were.
