The time for lament is over and the time for action has come, the Church of England's Anti-Racism Taskforce has said.
The taskforce said that on the issue of racism, the Church was at "a Kairos moment where the wind of the Spirit is leading us as a body to permanent change".
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York created the taskforce last autumn to recommend changes across the Church to ensure greater racial equality.
The creation of the taskforce followed months of protest over the death of George Floyd in the US and came at a time when the Church of England was reckoning with its own legacy of racial injustice. CT.
