The Bishop of Worcester, Dr John Inge, said: \u201cShe has been on the throne since before most of us were born and has been a constant source of strength, stability, and inspiration throughout her long reign. She has been the glue which has held this country and the Commonwealth together, and I give heartfelt thanks for her life of selfless service.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat service was undergirded and enabled by a deep Christian faith, and we now commend her to the God in whom she believed, whose love is stronger than death, as we also pray for members of the Royal Family, particularly our new King.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let us come together as a nation to mark her death with dignity and pride.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bishop of Oxford, Dr Steven Croft, said that her \u201cdevoted service\u201d had given \u201cstability to the nation throughout this Elizabethan age\u201d. Her \u201cdeep, personal Christian faith\u201d, had inspired him and many, he said.<\/p>\n
