I completely agree with what the leader of the Anglican church recently said in his response to the British government’s plan to place some asylum seekers on one-way flights to Rwanda.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that “sub-contracting out our responsibilities” to refugees can’t stand up to God’s scrutiny, noted Jill Lawless in a article for the Association Press.
Speaking at a recent joint news conference in the Rwandan capital Kigali, UK Home Secretary Priti Patel said that people relocated to Rwanda “will be given the support including up to five years of training, integration, accommodation, health care, so that they can resettle and thrive,” according to a CNN report.
Delivering a sermon on Easter Sunday at Canterbury Cathedral, Welby said “The details are for politics and politicians. The principle must stand the judgment of God and it cannot.”
