England Adopts Race Action Plans, Embraces 'Woke' Ideals

Led by pro-BLM Bishop Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Church aims to address racial injustice and promote diversity, amid criticism from some quarters.

The Church of England has mandated all parishes to develop 'race action plans' following a motion led by the pro-BLM Bishop of Dover, Rose Hudson-Wilkin.
Bishop Hudson-Wilkin criticized the misuse of the term 'woke' and emphasized its roots in black awareness, urging the Church to embrace racial justice.
The General Synod passed the motion unanimously, highlighting the Church's commitment to addressing racial injustice and promoting diversity.
Critics argue that the Church's shift towards diversity and inclusion may alienate conservative ethnic minorities who reject identity politics.
The Church has previously acknowledged its institutional racism and has taken steps to address racism, including setting up a £100m fund for communities affected by historic slavery.
