• The Archbishop of Canterbury has urged Anglican bishops to speak out against ‘unethical treatment’ of migrants and climate change.

  In his latest highly political intervention, Justin Welby encouraged Church of England leaders to ‘take risks’ and warned that failing to act would make them ‘one of the oppressors’.

  Calling climate change an ‘undeclared war’, the former oil executive warned it could create 1.2billion refugees with consequences ‘tragic beyond anything in human history’. ‘To be silent on the unethical treatment of migrants or on war or oppression, on the abuse of human rights, on persecution, is to be one of the oppressors,’ he told the Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops.
