A very important report and well worth a read. Findings summarised in this thread
Just launched! My report for @Theosthinktank and @Churchofengland. Who are the young adults finding faith today? What might their stories tell us about new spiritual openness, ‘quiet revival’ or not?

Thank you, Your Holiness @Pontifex, for this special message to Christians around the world for Thy Kingdom Come 2026. Ascension reminds us that Jesus reigns, and that through the Holy Spirit, his life continues in us. Our world is longing for hope, peace and renewal. As we journey from Ascension to Pentecost, let us pray together for more people to know Jesus Christ - and the fullness of life we find in him.
On this Ascension Day, we’re honoured to share a special message from His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for Thy Kingdom Come 2026.

For Mothering Sunday, I’m reflecting on The Three Mothers - three icons by Regan O’Callaghan that now hang outside my office here at Lambeth Palace. Three ordinary mothers, hands open in hospitality, faithful to their church and to God. A reminder of the steadfast faithfulness of women whose service sustains our communities every day.

I am delighted that the government recognises the timeless impact of our historic churches, which continue to be treasured by the public today. This Heritage England fund prioritises sites that serve disadvantaged communities and deliver strong local benefits, which St Mary’s does in abundance. The grant will enable urgent repairs to St Mary’s West Front, helping preserve the church for future generations.
Good news! A £1.3 million Government grant is set to save two at-risk church buildings in London. St Mary's, Somers Town and the Greenhouse Centre, Westminster will be restored to continue serving their communities thanks to the @HistoricEngland award funded by @DCMS
