Rt Revd David Urquhart, Bishop of Birmingham, spoke about Friday’s terror attack from the House of Lords, where he is sitting this week. He said, ‘We have to face up to the next stages of rooting out the evil which is perpetrated through IS’. The Bishop said that Christians can help most in the local communities by making good personal relationships with those of other faiths and explaining how God and religion can promote peace and harmony. The Bishop’s comments follow David Cameron saying that Britain should attack the ‘head of the snake’ and that Raqqa (in Syria) is that head. He added that we should be doing more than supporting our allies with intelligence, surveillance and refuelling, and there needs to be comprehensive military counter-terrorism as well as ideological approaches.
