The Ecumenical News International website reports today that the Church of England Synod -- a key Anglican governing body -- has demanded that the British government review regulations of video games, saying they are having a disturbing effect on society.
A delegate to the synod, which met in London from February 8 to 12, 2010, had offered to show the assembly of bishops, clergy, and laity a compilation of violent images.
"Why is it acceptable, indeed lawful, to portray the killing and burning of a woman in 'Fatality,' the sawing of a woman in 'Mortal Kombat,' rape, torture, and so on?" asked Tom Benyon.
Benyon added, "I have seen their pernicious effect; a family member who saw a so-called game had nightmares."
