Then Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.’” (Mt 26:52) Let’s be clear: there is no universe in which Jesus Christ blesses preemptive war and wanton destruction. To wrap war under the mantle of Jesus Christ is blasphemy. ⚓️

Rowan Williams elevates the host during a celebration of Eucharist. There are chalices and cruets of wine on the altar, and in the background members of the choir can be seen.
