The Church of England wants to apologize to Muslim leaders for the Iraq war. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
LONDON (AFP) - The Church of England offered to take the lead in reconciling with Muslims by apologizing to their leaders for the US-led war in Iraq if the British government fails to do so.
The proposal was contained in a report, entitled “Countering Terrorism: Power, Violence and Democracy Post-9/11” which written by a working group of the Church of England’s House of Bishops.
“We do believe that the church has a visionary role for reconciliation, beyond that of any government,” the Bishop of Oxford, Right Reverend Richard Harris, told BBC radio.
“The Christian church in particular has a mandate to work for reconciliation,” he said Monday.
The report suggests that a “truth and reconciliation” meeting between Christian and Muslim leaders would be an opportunity to apologize for the way the West has contributed to the tragedy in Iraq, including the March 2003 invasion led by the United States and Britain.
