I warmly welcome the news of the election of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and assure him of my prayers as he begins his ministry.
The election of a new Pope is a moment of profound significance not only for Roman Catholics worldwide but also for the wider Christian family.
We give thanks for his calling and pray that he will be granted wisdom, grace, and strength as he leads the Church in speaking to God's world with a message of love, forgiveness and reconciliation.
I look forward to continued dialogue and cooperation between our churches, and to working together in witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
