Racial justice enablers: hills of the north, rejoice
by Charles Moore, Telegraph:
The Church of England has focused its attention on evangelising wokeism.
Once upon a time, people used to speak about a Christian mission to “darkest Africa”. The extent of the change is visible in a job advert recently put out by the Diocese of York. It appears to be announcing a mission to whitest England.
The diocese is seeking a “racial justice enabler”, a half-time post for which he/she will be paid £32,000 – more than double the annual rate of pay for a full-time vicar. Thrown in on top of the pension scheme are free parking in York, the benefits of a cycle to work scheme and eye-care vouchers.
The introduction and job description run for more than 2,500 words, as well as the Racial Justice Charter, which is attached. I shall try to boil it down.
First of all, the post will not be offered to a white person. The ad cannot state as much (such racial discrimination is against the law), but I think that is what the “person specification” means when it says that the successful candidate will have “a passion for racial justice and radical hospitality borne out of lived experience”.
I am not sufficiently educated in modern missionary lingo to know exactly what “radical hospitality” means, but I do know that “lived experience” is something that white people, in racial questions, are considered incapable of possessing.
