We welcomed Archbishop Sarah, Archbishop Richard & Bishop Hovakim to their first meeting of the @churchesengland.bsky.social Presidents today

They shared the issues that they are focused on, in particular, the war in the Middle East and working towards unity in our own nation

Honoured to represent Churches Together in England at a moving Holocaust Memorial Day Service in London. A timely reminder that in these divisive days we must resist antisemitism and racism wherever it raises it ugly head. #HMD2026
