(London) “Christ’s life-changing touch is here, through our division, it is in this room, because in the past, just a few years ago, this meeting would have been unimaginable”. This was said by the three Christian leaders – cardinal Vincent Nichols, Catholic primate of England and Wales, Justin Welby, archbishop of Canterbury, and the Orthodox Angaelos – at the “Forum 2018” of “Churches Together in England”, the most important ecumenical organisation in England. At a meeting with young people, opening the three days’ meeting that is taking place at the “The Hayes” congress centre in Derbyshire, Welby, Nichols and Angaelos said “for the first time in our history, they can be together in a new way”. Held every three years, the Forum is also attended by the Pentecostal president, pastor Agu Irukwu, reverend Billy Kennedy for the Quakers, the Lutheran Churches and the New Churches and the Free Churches Moderator, reverend Hugh Osgood. This year, the topic discussed by the leaders of 45 different Christian traditions, including lots of young people, is “I am always with you. Together in God’s mission”. Nichols, Welby and Angaelos told of the way often “Christ reaches us through pain” and the way “such experience is removed by such anaesthetics as wealth and privilege”.
