2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

John Sentamu (1949–) is the former Archbishop of York, which made him the second most important person in the Church of England. He is a noted homophobe, being one of only four priests to explicitly refuse to sign the Cambridge Accord against homophobia (one of the other three being former Archbishop George Carey). While he objects to Ugandan anti-gay legislation this is because he told the BBC that the proposed law "tends to confuse all of homosexual relationships with what you call aggravated stuff and that's the problem".[1] He was a regular columnist for The Sun[2] and has written columns for the Daily Mail, discussing Christian Persecution Syndrome.[3] On the plus side he opposes food poverty[4], Guantanamo Bay,[5] and abuses in the banking system.[6]
