We were delighted to welcome some of the first women to be ordained priests in the Church of England to Lambeth Palace today.
This year marks 30 years of women’s ordination as priests.
Over the past three decades, the Church has been immeasurably enriched by the ministry, presence, insight and wisdom of women ordained as priests and bishops. It’s a privilege to serve as sisters and brothers in Christ.
Today is #WorldMSADay A day to raise awareness of multiple system atrophy. We want everyone to know about the support available to those affected by MSA and our work towards a world free of MSA.
Share this post to raise awareness of MSA and to help ensure no one faces MSA alone.
July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11
Today, with @Pontifex, I prayed these words for Anglican and Catholic bishops who are meeting this week in Rome and Canterbury to discuss how they can grow together in joint mission and church unity. We prayed this on the site that the apostle Paul was buried.
“God reconciled us to himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. As we send you forth from the tomb of the Apostle to the Nations, we call on you to make this ministry your special care.
“As you preach and celebrate the sacraments with God’s holy people, bear witness to the one hope of your calling. May your ministry alongside one another as Catholics and Anglicans be for the world a foretaste of the reconciling of all Christians in the unity of the one and only Church of Christ for which we pray this day.”

All of us here at the embassy are heartbroken to hear that Kim Damti was murdered. We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends, in these hard days. The ongoing indiscriminate attacks of Hamas on civilians must stop. May her memory be a blessing Z'L🩷

Some say this is the greatest photograph ever taken: Voyager's final photograph of Earth before leaving our solar system.
Is it irrational to believe in a God who would place his creatures on such an insignificant blue dot suspended in an infinite cosmic dark? My thoughts:
"I’ve never fell off a big chimney. You only fall off one of them once."
