Key points from World Youth Day in Poland
What impact will the presence of 2.5 million young people have on the future of Christianity?
As many as 2.5 milliion people attended World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland, last weekend. Below is a video wrap-up of the ten main messages from Pope Francis. At a time when young people are often regarded as aimless and pessimistic, there was an atmosphere of joy and idealism about the gathering which bodes well for the future of Christianity. The next World Youth Day will take place in Panama in 2019.
There's plenty of good reading today. James Burfitt reviews a savage critique of the way the war on terror in the Middle East has been handled by a leading counter-insurgency expert. Jane Fagan reviews a children's book about an extraordinary Australian woman who worked with the French Resistance and rescued a thousand people from the Gestapo. And Mary Cooney gives some sound advice about dealing with warring siblings. And that's just for starters. See the full list below.
