Archbishop of Canterbury to warn of ‘divine justice’ for those who oppress others

The Archbishop of Canterbury will use his Easter sermons to warn that “those who oppress and subjugate others will face divine justice”. Justin Welby will tell the congregations at Canterbury Cathedral that while “cruel and oppressive rulers” may look as though they are only becoming stronger, they will “vanish”.

The sermons take place at 8.10am and 11am on Sunday (April 9). He will say: "Cruel and oppressive rulers might look as though they only get stronger. Yet they will vanish: the power of the resurrection is infinitely greater than they are.

“Even in our lifetimes, as we are surrounded by fears, even by evil, we know that those who oppress and subjugate others will face divine justice.
