Bishop of Chelmsford on UK-Rwanda asylum seeker plan
The Bishop of Chelmsford, Bishop Guli Francis-Dehqani, has written to the 成人快手 Secretary and Witham MP, Priti Patel, in support of comments made by the Archbishop of Canterbury about the UK's plans to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The new partnership deal, signed off by the 成人快手 Secretary, was announced last week by the Prime Minister in the hope it will stem the tide of those risking their lives trying to get across the Channel in inflatable dinghys.
Bishop Guli tweeted a copy of the letter she had sent to the 成人快手 Secretary, saying she fully supported the Archbishop, who had condemned the plans as "ungodly".
The Bishop wrote: "Those who find their way to this country, often through treacherous means, deserve to have their cases considered and processed here. To do otherwise is, as the Archbishop says, "subcontracting out our responsibilities...the opposite of the nature of god, who himself took responsibility for our failures."
