The Archbishop of Canterbury, who said last weekend, ‘Jesus was a refugee’, will give a home to a family of Syrian refugees in a cottage at his London residence. A spokeswoman said, ‘There are refugees here who are desperate for sanctuary from war-torn places, and the Archbishop wants to make a difference.’ He has also criticised David Cameron's plans to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees, saying the action was a ‘very slim response’ that is ‘going to have to rise over the next five years’. Earlier this month Pope Francis announced that the Vatican would house two refugee families, and called on Roman Catholic organisations to take in families and displaced individuals. The UK Green Party leader said that we hold 12% of the EU economy and should host a fair proportion of the two million refugees - urging the government to host 240,000 displaced Syrians.
