The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has condemned a British plan to send tens of thousands of asylum seekers to the East African country of Rwanda,Delivering a sermon on Easter Sunday at Canterbury Cathedral, Justin Welby said the strategy announced last week by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson posed “serious ethical questions”.
“The details are for politics and politicians. The principle must stand the judgment of God and it cannot,” Welby said. “It cannot carry the weight of our national responsibility as a country formed by Christian values, because sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God who himself took responsibility for our failures,” he said.Last year, more than 28 000 migrants and refugees made the crossing from mainland Europe to Britain.
The arrival of migrants on rickety boats has been a source of tension between France and Britain, especially after 27 migrants drowned when their dinghy deflated in November.
When dealing with Africans, the British have never remembered that there's God. Then ain't about to start.
Do the Brits consider Rwanda a holding area?. Should Uganda too send Congolese refugees to the UK pending processing 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️. Indeed this policy does not stand “the judgement of God”.
