St Leonard's Parochial Church Council in Chesham Bois, in Buckinghamshire, wanted to demolish its church hall and replace it with a "new multi-functional parish centre" to accommodate up to 275 people.

“The indiscriminate killing of human life, the continued occupation of land, and the displacement of people stand in the way of a world where justice is realized,” said Tara Miller and Joey Lopez, co-executive directors of the Church Council of Greater Seattle who helped organize the letter, in a statement.

“So have I,” said Nordgren, the president of the Paradise Lutheran Church council.

As a result, Cornwall church council chairman Andy Virr and two other PCC members stood down.

A Cornwall church council's decision to ban women from applying to be the new vicar has been reversed after a new governing body was appointed.
