Archbishop Stephen Cottrell said: “Coming to Rome and meeting with sisters and brothers from within the Roman Catholic Church has been so encouraging.
“My prayer is that Christians of all denominations can work together more and be united in our desire to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit as we look to share the love of God as seen in Jesus with the many in our world who long for hope and meaning in their lives.”
