Clerics say racism denies belief ‘that all are made in God’s image’

It includes prayers describing racism as “an affront to God and contrary to the Christian faith” which “denies our common humanity in creation and our belief that all are made in God’s image”.

The church said taking the knee “has become a symbol of protest against racial injustice and an expression of solidarity” which “has been used by sports personalities, community leaders, and political representatives amongst others”. The prayer acknowledges and laments “the conscious and unconscious racism encountered by many black, Asian and minority ethnic communities in our churches and society”, and asks for “the courage to stand unequivocally for justice, and for truth. Help us to dismantle racist agendas and to transform unjust structures.”

Thought Anglican's only took a knee when being knighted by their pontifix minima?

GAA to follow? We are all american now

All lives matter- is probably too radical for some?

BLM is not about racism, it’s a Marxist political activist group.

Impossible to take moral pronouncements on racism from a church historically steeped in the oppression of the Irish people. It should look to the plank in its own eye first.

Grand, When will these Anglicans be taking a knee to atone for the all the oppression the native Catholic Gaelic Irish endured under their tyrannical reign?
