The Archbishop of Canterbury has urged people of faith to demonstrate “extreme confidence” in God after terror attacks like the bombings that shook London one year ago.
Dr Rowan Williams said in a Sunday sermon at York Minster that this kind of response would help combat “extremists of murder and fear”, reports the BBC.
Large crowds gathered Friday at each of the sites of last year’s London bombings for a two-minute silence and the laying of flowers in memory of the 52 people killed.
Dr Williams said that the pain of the July 7 bombings was still deeply felt and added that the perpetrators were people who were unable to put their trust in God.
