The Church

"Churches still hold services, London still has its bishops, the Traitor Empress is still the head of the Church of England. Theology has become more flexible, of course. People are more polite about Hell. A few of the saints seem to have had a change of name."

The Anglican Church still survives in London. It just has to be more delicate about devils, because after all, it's now among devils...

Some notable figures in the Church:

The Bishop of St. Fiacre's is...
... a Snuffer, a face-stealing monster from the Elder Continent. He's more benign than other Snuffers, but like the rest of his kind, he's looking for the secrets of the Mountain of Light. Those who seek their Heart's Desire will find that he's one of the players of the Marvellous.

The Bishop of Southwark is...
...a giant wrestler and former cavalryman who hopes to lead a new invasion of Hell (even though the Campaign of '68 failed disastrously). They say his miter is made of iron.
