Jewish
communities are a “gift” to the countries in which they live, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said.
“There is no
question that a country with a large Jewish community will be a better country.
It will flourish in almost any area you care to name,” the archbishop told a
synagogue in London.
Addressing
the irrationality of antisemitism, he asked why Jewish communities were “seen
as a problem, not as a gift.”
The most
senior bishop of the Anglican Church was in conversation with the historian
Simon Sebag Montefiore in an interfaith event.

Židovske zajednice su "dar" zemljama u kojima žive, rekao je nadbiskup Canterburyja Justin Welby. "Nema sumnje da će zemlja s velikom židovskom zajednicom biti bolja zemlja. Procvjetat će u gotovo svakom području kojeg imenujete.", rekao je nadbiskup u sinagogi u Londonu.
Govoreći o iracionalnosti antisemitizma, upitao je zašto se židovske zajednice "smatraju problemom, a ne darom".
