Easter sermons: Do not lose heart over conflicts, Archbishop of Canterbury says

Mr Welby is speaking at The Service of Holy Communion on Sunday, giving a longer version of The sermon during Easter Eucharist later in The Morning .
He will say " cruel and oppressive leaders might look as though they only get stronger, yet they will Vanish - The Power of The Resurrection is infinitely greater than they are".
His message continues: " Even in our lifetimes, as We Are surrounded by fears, even by evil, we know that those who oppress and subjugate others will face Divine Justice .
" We know with certainty that policies that cause suffering and pain will fall away. We can say surely: All That seeks to deny God has No Future - All That shares in The risen life of Jesus Is eternal. "
Mr Welby will also say Christians see " The reality of The Resurrection around us in All corners of The world" - including in " relationships that find warmth again after many years of hurt and estrangement" and " In Conflict reconciled and hatreds overcome".
