Stephen Cottrell says past week, including BBC exposé on church, has been a watershed moment
The archbishop of York has committed the Church of England to racial justice, saying the past week has been a “watershed moment” with the conviction in the US of George Floyd’s killer and the airing of a BBC television documentary that exposed racism in the church.
Stephen Cottrell, the number two in the church’s hierarchy since last year, said he was determined to make the C of E into a diverse organisation that clearly condemned and confronted racism.
