THIS week I have listened to the most racist speech I have ever heard from a Christian minister in Britain.
As of yesterday, a talk by Canon Phil Harris had been viewed more than 1.8 million times on YouTube. On various social media sites, it has received a string of approving comments from far-right viewers, some of them identifying themselves as Christians.

While I am often critical of the Church of England’s leaders, Harris’s catalogue of misleading myths and unsubstantiated allegations is on a different level.
