Loneliness and isolation are the most widespread social problems affecting English communities, regardless of income or social class, according to the findings of a survey of vicars published today by the Church of England and Church Urban Fund (CUF).
Social isolation was described by 64% of Church of England clergy as a major or significant problem in their area, up from 58% three years ago, in a national online survey of social action by Anglican churches.
