Subsequently, the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Chelmsford told the same Select Committee that she did not have a problem with what he said about the truth of this issue. He further tells me that a number of Church of England clerics have contacted him to say that what he observed in Darlington is happening across the country in their parishes, too. They say that they are too afraid to speak out because of the treatment that they are likely to get from Church of England bishops with very distinct political views. They tell him that it is happening constantly. Asylum seekers who fail on their first application are suddenly asking for baptism as a way to overturn the result.
