“You go into their churches and you really don’t see a White Jesus — you see a Black Jesus, or Chinese Jesus, or a Middle Jap Jesus — which is of class the most exact.

“You see a Fijian Jesus — you see Jesus portrayed in as quite a few techniques as there are cultures, languages and understandings.”

Welby additional that the representations of Jesus were being not, however, “who we worship” but instead served as a “reminder of the universality of the God who became thoroughly human.”

Addressing phone calls for monuments with one-way links to the UK’s imperialist heritage and slave trade to be removed, he explained statues in Canterbury Cathedral would be place underneath overview.

“We are heading to be seeking extremely thoroughly, and putting them in context and viewing if they all should really be there,” he claimed.

“The concern [about whether they should all be there] arises, of program it does, and we’ve observed that all around the planet.”
