Easter sermons: Do not lose heart over conflicts, Archbishop of Canterbury says
The Archbishop of Canterbury is using his Easter sermons to say " we must not lose heart" over The War in Ukraine or The Situation in Israel and Palestine.
Preaching at Canterbury Cathedral on Easter Sunday , he will say that " true peace is no aimless daydream".
Justin Welby adds that The Resurrection teaches Christians that " Life Triumphs over death, light over darkness".
And he warns that those who " oppress and subjugate others" will " face Divine Justice ".
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".
In his own Easter message, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said The Christian values of " tolerance, compassion and charity" are embedded in British culture.
Mr Sunak, a Hindu, said Easter Sunday is a chance to reflect on The contribution made by Christian communities in The UK, adding they offer " support and a sense of belonging to so many across The country".
He Said The religion is part of The " national fabric" and " its values are British values".
