I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Pope Francis. Such a great spiritual leader and witness to the risen Lord Jesus Christ right to the end. My prayers are with all our brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

The Church of England’s General Synod today passed a motion by 238-7 votes, requesting 'His Majesty’s Government work to improve funding and access to desperately needed palliative care services instead of enacting a law that puts the most vulnerable at risk.’ #AssistedDyingBill

A very thoughtful, moving and well-informed debate led by the Bishop of London at General Synod - and a very important contribution to the wider discussion on assisted dying: churchofengland.org/faith-life/wha…

A remarkable speech by Danny Kruger emphasising the Christian roots of English (and British) culture and democracy. It raised lots of difficult questions but undoubtedly issued a powerful challenge to the Church of England to remember its calling to proclaim the hope of Christ.

Visit to Rochester Cathedral, the second oldest in England with its textus roffensis, one of the oldest texts in medieval English. Thanks to Bishop Bishop Jonathan Gibbs, Chair of the „Meissen Commission“ with Evangelische Kirche in Germany and Dean Philip Hesketh for a wonderful visit and Evensong.

It was a great pleasure to welcome Ambassador Berger and his colleagues to Rochester. We are so grateful for his friendship and support for our partnership with Evangelische Kirche during his time in London and wish him well for his new post in Poland.
