Pope Leo XIV held his first meeting with Dame Sarah Mullally, the new Archbishop of Canterbury and the first woman to lead the Church of England and the Anglican Communion. During their audience at the Vatican, the Pope encouraged Catholics and Anglicans to continue the path of dialogue and unity, acknowledging that new challenges have made full communion more difficult. He warned that it would be a “scandal” not only to fail in the common mission of making Christ known, but also to stop working to overcome divisions, “no matter how intractable they may appear.”

#Nigeria: We are shocked at the recent surge in mass abductions & urge the authorities to ensure such vile attacks are halted & to hold those responsible to account.

At least 402 people have been abducted in the north-central region in the last week, most of them schoolchildren.

Saddened by the passing of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. He was a defining figure in Nigeria’s modern history and a steadfast partner to the UK. I expressed my condolences to @YusufTuggar yesterday. My thoughts are with the Nigerian people.

He appears once in Genesis & vanishes almost immediately.

No backstory. No follow-up.
Just bread, wine, and a blessing.
