Anti-Racism Taskforce says abuse against Jarel Robinson-Brown could deter minority groups joining clergy
A body set up by the archbishops of Canterbury and York to tackle racism in the Church of England has criticised the “social media lynching” of a trainee priest who tweeted about Captain Sir Tom Moore.
In an unusual statement, the Anti-Racism Taskforce warned that black and minority ethnic people training to become clergy in the church could withdraw from the ordination process in the light of the abuse and the church’s initial response to it.
