From The Church Times-THE Archbishop of Canterbury paid a whistle-stop visit to Nigeria on Wednesday, to pray with the President, Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement from Lambeth Palace said that the Archbishop made the "last-minute" visit to "offer his heartfelt sympathy for the recent events affecting the country", including the recent bombings in Jos, and the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls last month (News, 2 May).
The Archbishop has previously condemned the kidnapping as an "atrocious and inexcusable act", and called for the schoolgirls to be released immediately, unharmed (News, 9 May).
