Welby: Easter means fear 'overcome' despite Brussels attacks | Welby: Easter means fear 'overcome' despite Brussels attacks |

The Archbishop of Canterbury has warned people not to give in to fear after the attacks in Brussels, in his Easter Sunday sermon. | |
The Most Rev Justin Welby told worshippers at Canterbury Cathedral that the attacks risked "causing us to act fearfully, to see a world in which fear triumphs". | |
But he also said: "On Easter Day hope decisively overcame fear". | |
Tuesday's bombings in Brussels killed 28 people and injured dozens. | |
The archbishop said hope can seem far away and fear so close "in the shadow of this week's darkness". | |
"Fear is reasonable, a normal human reaction," he added. | |
