Church is not party political, says archbishop amid Rwanda plan spat
The Archbishop of Canterbury has used 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.
The word "party" is doing a great deal of work there - not with conspicuous success.

Has there ever been an Archbish of C who was worth tuppence?
Is Welby the worst since ... I dunno ... 1900? 1800? 1700?
Welby would be well advised to keep the trap shut.
While I'm here, DM and AKH, no jazz today, sorry ... simply ran out of time.
Welby apparently hasn't heard of Henry II.
dearieme - I don't know, apart from Welby the only one I ever paid any attention to was Robert Runcie because of his war record and we enjoyed imitating him.
James - yes I saw your jazz comment over at yours. No matter, my time seems to disappear at the moment too. I blame the clock meddling.
Jannie - luckily for him, Starmer is never likely to say "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
He "was born in 1921 in Crosby, Liverpool, the son of Robert Dalziel Runcie, a Scottish electrical engineer ..."
Ah, AKH, maybe we should except the Scots ones from blanket criticism. Come to think of it, how many Scots A of Cs have there been? Certainly Cosmo Gordon Lang. Wokeypedia says that Archibald Campbell Tait was the first.
dearieme - it isn't easy to imagine our furtive political class dealing successfully with either of those two.
