Archbishops’ Racial Justice Commission has just one Conservative member
by Archbishop Cranmer:
The Archbishops’ Racial Justice Commission was announced last week. It is a 12-member board, chaired by former Labour MP Paul Boateng, now Lord Boateng, and its members include just one Conservative: the social entrepreneur Lord Wei. The other members are: Rev’d Sonia Barron, Prof. Mike Higton, Prof. Anthony Reddie, Prof. Duncan Morrow, Dame Melanie Dawes, Rev’d Canon Dr Philip Anderson, Rev’d Canon Dr Chigor Chike, Rt Rev’d Rose Hudson-Wilkin, Rev’d Canon Patricia Hillas, and Dr Nirmala Pillay.
You can survey their academic research interests, organisation memberships and public pronouncements on various matters of government policy, and deduce their left-liberal affiliations. Why is the political make-up of this group important? The background and mission objectives are summarised thus:
The Racial Justice Commission was appointed by the Archbishops in response to the Anti-racism Taskforce report, ‘From Lament to Action’, for a period of three years.
It follows a series of commitments by the Archbishops to take action to identify, respond to, and root out systemic racism in the Church of England.
The Commission is an independent body bringing together a range of experience and expertise within and beyond the church.
They will report to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York every six months over the next three years, with recommendations to help the Archbishops fulfil their commitments to identify, respond to, and root out systemic racism in the Church. As the Rev’d Marcus Walker reminded us six months ago, the left tends to resolve disparities and injustices with social engineering. He wrote:
