Anglican Church leaders have spoken out against what they describe as a nationalist narrative emerging in the UK around Christianity and which they say is the antithesis of the values at the heart of their Christian faith.
The comments by Anglican officials, including a former CofE Archbishop of Canterbury, CofE bishops, clergy and lay people, were made to coincide with a “prayer walk” held around London's Hyde Park this morning, 7 November. The walk sought ahead of this Remembrance Sunday to “speak out against the Christian nationalist narrative”, according to the walk's organisers, and address increasing polarisation around the issue of immigration in the UK.
