"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...
The Saints of the Church
- St. John the Baptist
- St. Matthew
- St. Joshua - patron of spies
- St. Fiacre - patron of medicine and gardeners

Notable Clergymen
Fledgling Londoners may come in contact with the Loquacious Vicar, an overly enthusiastic but rather sharp fellow who seeks knowledge about the Soul Trade. He wishes to publish research regarding such matters, and he'll include you in his dedications if you help him.
The Bishop of Southwark
"He hammers on your door. "Hurry up in there! It's all pagans and turnips out here! And it's cold.""
The Bishop of Southwark is a 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. Despite his boisterousness, he is highly dedicated towards the cause of the Church, though he's also very overzealous when dealing with nonbelievers and pagans. Naturally for someone as daring as he, the Bishop can often be found roaming the Flit and other criminal dens. It's rumored that he may possess the very teeth of St George; in his words: "Anyone who labours in holy service to England is St George, as far as I'm concerned."
It turns out that he's responsible for the death of his squadmates during the invasion of Hell. In his own words, he literally stopped to smell the roses. He still has scars from his immortal mistake. Perhaps this is the reason for his zealotry.
He ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of London in 1894.
The Bishop of St. Fiacre's

The Bishop of St. Fiacre's is a Snuffer. 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. He is also one of the players of the card game called the Marvellous. The Bishop is also a noted member of the Dilmun Club.
His sister is the Woman in Yellow.
One can assume his heart's desire is, in fact, the Mountain itself!
