From the Channel to Rwanda

Three essays on the morality of asylum

December 7, 2022

The government’s Rwanda plan has been roundly denounced by the leaders of the main Christian churches in Britain.  Notably, the Archbishop of Canterbury devoted his Easter sermon to the subject and the Lords Spiritual have jointly attacked the Rwanda plan in the press.  Policy Exchange’s new paper answers the moral and theological critique which has been advanced in recent months.  The contributors to the paper, two Anglicans and two Catholics, aim to show that church leaders have misunderstood the relevant moral and theological considerations and their implications for the Channel crisis
