After 800 years, Church of England apologizes to Jews for laws that led to expulsion

Summary by Ground News

The Church of England on Sunday apologized for anti-Jewish laws that were passed 800 years ago and eventually led to the expulsion of Jews from the kingdom for hundreds of years. A special service held at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford was attended by Britain's Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and representatives of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The synod forbade social interactions between Jews and Christians, placed a specific tithe on Jews, and required them to wear an identifying badge.
