The Archbishop of Canterbury is set to call the Government’s plan to send asylum-seekers to Rwanda the “opposite of the nature of God”.
In his Easter sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, Justin Welby will say that Christ’s resurrection should be a time for “repentance and renewal”, not for “sub-contracting our responsibilities”.
The Archbishop will also call for a ceasefire in the Russian war on Ukraine and speak of his concern for families struggling during the cost-of-living crisis and for those bereaved by Covid-19. In his 8.10am sermon, the Archbishop will say: “The resurrection of Jesus is not a magic wand that makes the world perfect.
