The head of the Church of England apologizes for the historical practice of forced adoption

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, has apologized for the historical practices of forced adoption by Anglican Church-affiliated institutions in England and Wales over several decades after World War II, during which approximately 185,000 children were taken from unwed mothers. The church has acknowledged the pain, trauma, and stigma experienced by those affected. The report indicates that the church operated more than 200 homes for single mothers and their children between 1949 and 1976. The apology comes amid similar apologies from other countries, including Ireland and Australia,

Nadbiskupica Canterburyja Sarah Mullally ispričala se za ulogu Anglikanske crkve u praksama prisilnog posvajanja u desetljećima nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, kada je otprilike 185.000 djece oduzeto neudanim majkama diljem Engleske i Walesa.

- Duboko žalimo zbog boli, traume i stigme koje su doživjeli - i još uvijek nose - mnogi ljudi zbog povijesnih praksi posvajanja u domovima povezanim s Anglikanskom crkvom, priopćila je Mullally.

Od vlade se također očekuje da se ispriča u ime države za tu praksu. Druge zemlje, uključujući Irsku i Australiju, objavile su slične isprike posljednjih godina.

Crkva je bila značajan pružatelj domova za majke i djecu, potencijalno više od 200 u povijesti, pokazalo je njezino istraživanje objavljeno u četvrtak, koje se odnosi na razdoblje između 1949. i 1976.

Društveni sustavi i strukture u to vrijeme "izuzetno su otežavali neudanim ženama s djecom da žive samostalno", stoji u crkvenom izvješću.

- Danas govorimo svakom od vas: sramota koju ste bili prisiljeni osjećati bila je pogrešna. Nemate se čega sramiti. Naprotiv, duboko nas je sram što se to dogodilo ljudima u skrbi kršćanskih zajednica, rekla je Mullally.

Mullally je ustoličena u ožujku ove godine kao prva nadbiskupica od Canterburya, preuzimajući kormilo kao duhovna predvodnica 85 milijuna anglikanaca diljem svijeta.
