Archbishop Williams’ Easter sermon

The Archbishop of Canterbury preached the Easter sermon at Canterbury Cathedral. It is based on First Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy to be overcome is death.”

Here is an excerpt:

The vital significance of the Church in this society, in any human society, is its twofold challenge – first, challenging human reluctance to accept death, and then challenging any human acceptance of death without hope, of death as the end of all meaning. Death is real; death is overcome. We are mortal, and that is basic to who and what we are as humans. But equally we are creatures made so as to hear the call of God, a call that no power in heaven or earth can silence. That conviction is the foundation of all we say about human dignities and rights, and it is the heart of our Easter hope.
