Over the weekend the Archbishop of Canterbury penned an opinion piece for the Guardian that denounced the recent violence across England and Northern Ireland, including “anti-Muslim” attacks and the targeting of mosques.
It followed comments from the English bishops, as well as from the most senior member of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, who have condemned the outbreak of mob violence against asylum seekers and refugees as well as immigrant communities following the killing of three young girls during a knife attack in Southport on 29 July.
