The principle must stand the judgement of God and it cannot,\u201d declared Welby, who himself has a direct role in lawmaking as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parliament.uk\/site-information\/glossary\/lords-spiritual-and-temporal\/\">member of the House of Lords<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt cannot carry the weight of resurrection justice, of life conquering death. It cannot carry the weight of the resurrection that was first to the least valued, for it privileges the rich and strong,\u201d he went on, without offering a clear explanation as to how paying Rwanda to host people who illegally enter British territory from France \u2014 a safe European Union member-state \u2014 is an exercise of \u201cprivilege\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Anglican leader went on to assert that the Rwanda scheme \u201ccannot carry the weight of our national responsibility as a country formed by Christian values, because sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God who himself took responsibility for our failures\u201d \u2014 again, without explaining why the British people must be responsible for migrants illegally entering British territory via France, usually after having already passed through multiple other safe countries first.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The resurrection of Jesus is God\u2019s victory shout \u2013 promising each nation,
