Church of England Criticised for Racial Justice Job Paying Twice a Vicar’s Salary

by Richard Eldred
22 September 2024 3:00 PM

The Church of England has raised eyebrows by advertising a “Head of Racial Justice Priority” position in the Diocese of London, boasting a salary of £66,646 – more than double the £31,644 stipend for parish priests. The Telegraph has the story.

Positions responsible for “racial justice” have been rolled out in a number of Church of England dioceses in recent years as part of diversity, equality and inclusion initiatives.

The salary for the role in London appears to be the highest offered so far.

The Rev. Marcus Walker, the rector of St. Bartholomew the Great in the City of London, told the Telegraph that the annual contributions requested from parishes by the diocese – which can top six-figures – should not be spent on such high salaries.

“Dioceses can’t wave deficit-riddled accounts at parishes, demanding over £100,000 in parish share, and then pull this kind of salary out of nowhere,” he said.

A Church of England report in 2023 estimated that the total value of what vicars are given by the Church – including their vicarages, council tax bills and expenses – is between £47,000 and £62,000.

In the advertisement for the position, the Rt. Rev. Anderson Jeremiah, the Bishop of Edmonton, said the Church of England’s resources had to be used for “tangible action” so that it would become “more racially just”. …

Employing individuals in racial justice positions has ramped up in the Church of England following the establishment of the Archbishops’ Commission for Racial Justice after the death of George Floyd in May 2020. …

The Rt. Rev. Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Bishop of Dover, told the General Synod in February that Anglicans needed to “further embed racial justice” in the Church.

Worth reading in full.

“Head of Racial Justice Priority”

What does the poor, decadent, degenerate, atheistic, and anti-white CoE think “racial justice” is? Is it merely a form of words designed to hide anti-whitism?

I’m sure that having Prioritised their view of Racial Justice before everything else that the CofE currently does, the empty pews will help explain the lack of funds to actually do anything in future.

Go woke…

Some years ago my wife and I were asked to attend a day course on Equality and Diversity run by our church denomination. Our reply was that everything we needed to know about equality and diversity was in the Bible. Attendance, therefore, unnecessary.

The photograph of the clowns in fancy regalia says much about ‘diversity’ etc. Robes of gold and fancy-dress miters do not sit well with any of us.

So the Church of England’s resources don’t need to be used for “tangible action” to serve the teachings of Christ?

Doesn’t the Bible say something about a man not being able to serve two masters?

So who is it, Racial Justice or Christ?
