Pro-gay, pro-abortion, anti-Tory appointed chief of staff to Justin Welby

The political philosopher James Burnham once observed that “suicide is probably more frequent than murder as the end phase of a civilization.” As Justin Welby has demonstrated for some time, the Church of England has been eager to prove this adage true. The appointment of the Rev. Ijeoma Ajibade as his chief of staff, may tick the right diversity boxes, but if her past publications are any guide, the archbishop will be pulled even harder to the left.

The press release from Lambeth Palace shows Ms Ajibade to be a person of consequence within the CoE. She “is a Church of England priest working in the Diocese of London and the Diocese of Southwark. For the last six years she has been Regional Director, Europe, at the Mission to Seafarers. Ijeoma will start as Chief of Staff at Lambeth Palace in November.

“Since her ordination in 2010, Ijeoma has combined ordained ministry with secular work, and she has worked in various roles in the UK public sector. She began her career in local government, working in a number of different areas including audit and special investigations, housing advice and homelessness, and welfare benefit administration. Ijeoma also spent twelve years working for the London Assembly on Assembly Scrutiny and working for two previous Mayors of London (Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson) on economics and business policy.

“Ijeoma has also spent many years as a community activist working on human rights, and HIV awareness and prevention. She has served on the boards of a number of organisations including NAZ Project London, the Marylebone Project, African Health Policy Network, the Kaleidoscope Trust, the Bisi Alimi Foundation and the Merchant Navy Welfare Board.”

While the casual observer may pause at the references to Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson as marks in her favor, and wonder what these NGOs actually do – if one does not look too hard, on paper she has the right sort of background. Unfortunately other items found on paper raise questions.
