SEARCHING FOR THE ARCHBISHOP (7) - Re: One Year Ago This Week; episcopal welcome to the Archdiocese for the dissenting ACTA group; call to find "new pathways to dialogue"; limited remarks only; Notes #7



A timely reminder that exactly one year ago to the week, this happened (all in bold below we quote directly from the ACTA - A Call to Action website). We would make one remark at this juncture (n.b. ahead of a very busy post-Synodal autumn in this Archdiocese): it's Gospel.





The following message was sent to the participants at the ACTA National Conference at Liverpool Hope University on Saturday October 25th 2014
"As a new arrival myself, I take great pleasure in welcoming you all to the Archdiocese of Liverpool, and to this ecumenical beacon of hope that is this chapel, and this university. I pray that your continued commitment to the well-being of our church, in finding new pathways to dialogue and service, and promoting the joy of the gospel, will be a source of strength and encouragement, at this time of challenge and opportunity. May you have a fruitful, creative and joyful day.”

God bless you all
+Malcolm
Archbishop of Liverpool
