Fr Engin Yildirim among ecumenical welcomers for Pope Francis

This afternoon (Sunday) I received the message below from the Revd Engin Yildirim, the priest-in-charge of the Church of the Resurrection, our Turkish language parish in Istanbul. Fr Engin was one of the clergy from the very small Christian community in Turkey who was able to greet Pope Francis.

Dear Friends
Yesterday, Pope Francis visited Istanbul and celebrated Eucharist at St Esprit Cathedral where leaders of many Christian traditions were represented. It has been a very joyful celebration for all Christians. He delivered a very profound message about the work of the Holy Spirit towards the unity and witness of the Church. He will be visiting the Phanar (the headquarters of the Ecumenical Patriarch) today before he departs.
Every blessing
Fr Engin
