Following the death of Pope Francis, our Baptist Union General Secretary Lynn Green offers this reflection.
I am saddened to hear of the death of Pope Francis and I give thanks for his life and ministry. He was a man of deep humility, with an unwavering commitment to God and the Roman Catholic Church.
He was consistent in his commitment to advocating for vulnerable and marginalised people on a range of issues. He tirelessly affirmed the cause of ecumenism, persistently commended the virtues of synodality and has been an inspirational leader to many.
I am praying for my Roman Catholic sisters and brothers across the globe as they mourn his death.I will continue to pray in the discernment process for the next Papal appointment.
We meet for worship every Sunday at 10.30am - you are very welcome to join us.
We also have a Facebook public group.
