BBC NEWS | England | North Yorkshire | Hate mail sent to new archbishop: "The first black Archbishop of York has revealed that he has received racist letters, including some covered in human excrement.
Ugandan-born Dr John Sentamu, who will be enthroned in York next month, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he prayed for those who sent the hate mail.
He said: 'I don't know where they are from. They don't tell you.
