Speaking at the CBI conference on Monday, where the political party leaders also pitched their ideas to the business community, the Archbishop of Canterbury took part in a discussion about social inequality.
The discussion was chaired by Faisal Islam, BBC’s economics editor and also included Denise Wilson, Ruth Harrison and Brian Gilvary – who all work in business and equality.
During the session, Archbishop Justin said: “Our founder Jesus Christ was of course not white, middle class and British…by any standard of imagination.
“Are you sure?” asked Faisal Islam.
“I’m absolutely certain – he certainly wouldn’t have got a visa, unless we’re particularly short of carpenters”.
Making sure every person is able to live with dignity is central to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Looking forward to being at #CBI2019 this afternoon, where I’ll be joining a panel discussion on ways to tackle social inequality.

They also discussed gender parity on company boards, whether companies should make relationships which have climate change implications and social injustice.
