Reflections
“I shed a tear on hearing the news of the death of Pope Francis. He was someone who spoke my language, someone who echoed in words, my experience of the Divine and the way that experience can be mediated through the gift of this beautiful planet,” says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt
“We can be confident that the Bible is true, and not in any way discredited by modern scientific discovery, however, we must always pay careful attention to the genre of any given text,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey from St Andrew’s, Springfield
Pope Francis has set up a commission to identify the 21st century’s “new martyrs”, whom he has defined as Christians of any domination who are killed “simply because they are Christians”
