The Bishop of Durham is among Christian leaders who have condemned the Government's plan to send failed asylum seekers to Rwanda as "an immoral policy" that "shames Britain".
The first flight in a Government scheme to send people who have entered the UK illegally to Rwanda is due to take off on Tuesday evening. Challenges at the High Court and Court of Appeal failed.
Senior Church of England bishops signed a joint letter criticising Boris Johnson's Government. The letter, signed by Bishop of Durham Paul Butler, along with the archbishops of Canterbury and York, says the plan lacks morality.
