1/?
On Monday, the Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) released a video on racism.
2.
Note - the CEEC is a distinctive evangelical pressure group within the C of E. It is independent of the Anglican hierarchy (although it has a couple of bishops among its members), so its actions and decisions have nothing to do with Welby.
3.
You can watch the video here:

My rant is not about the video itself; nor about the people who feature in it, who all seem perfectly decent.
Nonetheless, there are two rather large elephants in the room.
4.
This is the 1st:
To the best of my knowledge, CEEC said precisely nothing about racism when one specific form of racism - antisemitism - was a national issue for 5 years, and formed part of the backdrop to 2 successive General Elections.
Does racism against Jews not count?
