schema:articleBody	The Church of England's second most important bishop used his farewell service as the Archbishop of York on Sunday to reflect on the brutality of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and pray for those who suffered hardship during the lockdown in Britain. John Sentamu stirred up the Church of England with his focus on racial injustice and inner-city crime when he became Britain's first senior black bishop in 2002. He first challenged the Church and other British institutions to address the problem of institutional racism in 1999. Sentamu became the Archbishop of York -- informally the second-most important post in the hierarchy after the Archbishop of Canterbury -- 15 years ago. The 70-year-old recalled fleeing Amin's reign of terror in 1974 and other hardships in his final prayer on BBC Radio York. "I have lived through Idi Amin's brutality in Uganda, salmonella poisoning, a burst appendix, prostate cancer and three serious operations," Sentamu said. "Through all of that, I have known that my life is here with Christ and God." The BBC's religion and ethics editor Ashley Peatfield called Sentamu "a cornerstone of the Church for 15 years (who) has become a household name to millions". Sentamu became a nationally beloved figure for his devotion to overtly political causes and embrace of his cultural roots. He campaigned against the US-led war in Iraq and accused Washington of "breaking international law" for its treatment of captives at Guantanamo Bay. He told The Guardian newspaper last week that unarmed black man George Floyd's death at police hands was a consequence of US authorities not "listening to the real problems of African Americans and people of colour." He offered a prayer on Sunday to those whose "homes may have felt like a prison" during Britain's two-month coronavirus lockdown. "Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe. Let us dream together, pray together, work together, and build one world of peace and justice for all," he said in his farewell. Sentamu will officially be succeeded as the Archbishop of York by Stephen Cottrell next month. zak/jxb
