The Archbishop of Canterbury has issued a public apology for declining to meet a Bethlehem-based pastor during a UK visit earlier this year over concerns about such a meeting happening against the backdrop of the Gaza conflict.
Archbishop Justin Welby cancelled plans to meet Lutheran pastor Munther Isaac in the latter half of February 2024, explaining he could not meet the pastor if he shared a platform with the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn at a pro-Palestinian rally, reports the Guardian.
