Archbishop of Canterbury:
People are afraid, very afraid of mass migration by Ann Corcoran 3/11/16
Invasion of Europe news…..Well, this is refreshing! A major
Christian leader somewhere in the world has the nerve to say it while
admonishing all of those who link that fear to racism. Illegal migrants are
waiting in Calais for passage to the UK
And, he dares
to say this: ‘You
can’t say, “God says you must vote this way or that way”.’
So take a
lesson US Catholic Bishops, Lutherans, Evangelicals, and the rest of you
supposed Christians!
From the Daily Mail: Britain has a ‘genuine and justified’ fear of mass immigration, the
Archbishop of Canterbury declared last night. The country’s most senior churchman said it
was ‘absolutely outrageous’ to dismiss the public’s legitimate concerns as
racist. Archbishop Justin Welby warned: ‘There is a genuine fear. And it
is really important that that fear is listened to and addressed.
There have to
be resources put in place that address those fears.’ He added: ‘What happens about housing? What
happens about jobs? What happens about access to health services?’
Campaign groups
last night welcomed his powerful intervention as a ‘marvellous breath of fresh
air’. It comes after years in which the liberal Left has attacked those
expressing concern about the unprecedented levels of immigration into Britain
as bigots.
Archbishop
Welby also revealed that the Church would not be taking a position in the EU
referendum debate. He was highly critical of Europe’s response to the refugee crisis, but
added: ‘You can’t say, “God says you must vote this way or that way”.’
Continue reading here. Unfortunately, Archbishop Welby still thinks the UK
should take in more refugees, but I expect his position will change on that too
once they come in larger numbers from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. For our
