How Church can keep the faith in online era – The Yorkshire Post says

In a rare intervention on matters of faith, Prince William offered “gratitude” for the Church’s efforts to “bring a sense of community, togetherness and peace to all those who are struggling”.

It is epitomised by the Archbishop of Canterbury’s chaplaincy work on the wards of St Thomas’ Hospital, London, where Boris Johnson received lifesaving treatment last month.

But, as Stephen Cottrell, the incoming Archbishop of York, becomes tasked with looking at the CoE’s vision and strategy for the decade ahead, his starting point should be on how the use of all buildings can be maximised as places of worship and the focal point of the varied communities that they strive to serve.
