From The Tablet-Pope Francis paid tribute to his late friend the evangelical Bishop Tony Palmer, saying in a special message for his Requiem Mass that he had left an important legacy for Christian unity.
Palmer, who was a co-founder of the Ark Community, a group of Evangelical charismatics within the Anglican Episcopal tradition, was killed in a motorcycle accident in the UK last month.
He came to prominence after persuading the Pope to broadcast a video message to a conference of Evangelical leaders in Fort Worth, Texas earlier this year.
At the requiem on Wednesday at the Catholic church of St John the Evangelist in Bath, his widow, Emiliana read out the Pope’s tribute.
