Disgusting stuff coming from a "man" of the cloth.
A clergyman from a prominent Church of England parish yesterday condemned the commemoration of Captain Sir Tom Moore as a âcult of white British nationalismâ.
The Reverend Jarel Robinson-Brown appeared to dismiss the work of the Covid fund-raiser, whose efforts were praised by all political leaders and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The cleric, newly appointed to a prestigious post by the Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Sarah Mullally, added that he would not join Wednesday night's national clap to mark the passing of Captain Tom.
He responded to the veteranâs death by tweeting: âThe cult of Captain Tom is a cult of White British Nationalism. I will offer prayers for the repose of his kind and generous soul, but I will not be joining the âNational Clapâ.â
Hundreds of thousands of Britons across the nation took to their doorsteps yesterday evening to pay tribute to Sir Captain Moore after he died of coronavirus yesterday.
The intervention by the 29-year-old black and gay activist appeared to undermine the Church of England and its handling of the Covid crisis at a time when its leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, have been facing criticism for their willingness to close churches.
The Archbishop marked Captain Tomâs death by saying he was âan inspiration to millionsâ.
Mr Robinson-Brown deleted the tweet after a fierce backlash and posted an apology, saying: âI offer an unreserved apology for the insensitive timing and content of my tweet regarding the clap for Captain Tom.â
He has said he is âpassionate about issues of justice, particularly in the areas of race and sexualityâ and has âan interest in gender, desire and ethnicity in Late Antique Egyptâ, alongside âliberation theologyâ and âqueer theologyâ.
He seems to be checking all of the boxes. Did the COE go crazy?
