Archbishop warns of sectarianism in church

Church of Ireland Archbishop Michael Jackson in his presidential address on Tuesday spoke about the sectarianism he has encountered in Dublin and Wicklow.

Referring to the sectarianism he experienced as a child in Fermanagh he said:

"Such a mindset I even then realised was as much a cynical manipulation as anything else of fearful people who had no active desire to dehumanise their neighbours. It was exercised by those with clinical brilliance who sought to eat such people up in a power game of politics and dominance - and to divide the spoils among them and start again."
