Archbishops call for racial unity
In a joint statement with the outgoing Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said: “Recent events in the United States of America have once again drawn public attention to the ongoing evil of white supremacy. Systemic racism continues to cause incalculable harm across the world.
“Our hearts weep for the suffering caused – for those who have lost their lives, those who have experienced persecution, those who live in fear. God’s justice and love for all creation demands that this evil is properly confronted and tackled. Let us be clear: racism is an affront to God. It is born out of ignorance and must be eradicated. We all bear the responsibility and must play our part to eliminate this scourge on humanity.
We must pray and work together for a new and more just society.”
