According to the Daily Mail, the nature of the advice has not yet been fully agreed by senior figures however it will call for the recognition of the importance of faith in society.

The publication will also call for reconciliation between those with opposing political opinions and between those for and against Brexit.

The move would mark the second time the church has act in such a way, after it published a pastoral letter to Anglicans ahead of the general election in 2015.

The guidance published two years ago was accused of being pro-Labour, and it attracted criticism from conservative politicians including Iain Duncan Smith and Nadine Dorries.

The church denied it's 52-page report - which called for a national debate on the Trident nuclear deterrent, criticised inequality and warned against military intervention in the Middle East - was trying to tell believers how to vote.

Archbishop of Canterbury Most Rev Justin Welby avoided keeping his political views on the EU referendum a secret last summer when he spoke out in favour of the UK staying in the European Union.
