Justin Welby is to tell the congregation on Sunday that Anglicans are 'all different' in their politics, as he urged 'love-in-action' to help those caught up in conflict.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will use his Easter sermon to say the church is not party political after facing criticism over his high-profile condemnation of the government's controversial Rwanda deportation scheme. Justin Welby will tell the congregation on Sunday that Anglicans are 'all different' in their politics, as he urged 'love-in-action' to help those caught up in conflict, including children in Gaza and Sudan, hostages held by Hamas and people in Ukraine.
'But we do not pick causes by opinion polls or human pressure, we show love-in-action and word because of who God is, revealed in Jesus. 'We act because of what God says, found in the bible and to be lived out by the church - in over 30,000 social projects - in 8,000 food banks.
