Multiculti sense
Dr John Sentamu, the incoming Archbishop of York and second most senior churchman in the Anglican communion, has launched a swingeing attack on multiculturalism. According to yesterday's Times, he has argued that multiculturalism is a doctrine which allows minority cultures to express themselves but is hostile to the majority host culture. It is in this way, for example, that England has become ashamed of its Empire and of its Christian heritage, wrongly in his opinion. As Britain's first black archbishop his words have particular heft and, following as they do his involvement in the Macpherson Inquiry, which introduced the notion of institutional racism, they represent something of a Damascus moment. Like the leader writer in the Times, I wholeheartedly agree with, and am encouraged by, his perhaps controversial statements. Anyone out there disagree? How can you disagree?
