The Church of England recently surveyed its parishes and discovered that 80% of congregations are involved in one or more forms of social action. Data gathered from 13,000 churches shows that the biggest area of work is in food banks - with 60%, or nearly 8,000 churches - involved in either running or supporting food banks through volunteers, donations and providing venues.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Meriden answering member printed Dame Caroline Spelman question first answered 13/12/2018 15:50:17 answering member 312 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Spelman
