Newsletters

Welcome to our full online newsletter archive. The Bishops' Conference of England and Wales sends out, by email, monthly newsletters with the latest from the Conference, its departments and agencies. From May 2010, the newsletters were made available as PDF downloads.

Current Issue

The April/May 2010 newsletter carried news of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI's appointment of the Most Reverend Peter Smith, until now Archbishop of Cardiff, as the new Archbishop of Southwark. Archbishop Smith will be installed at St George's Cathedral, Southwark on 10 June 2010.

The Bishops also released a new document on interreligious dialogue - Meeting God in Friend and Stranger.

Also in April/May we focussed on the General Election - the public went to the polling stations on 6 May 2010.

There were also updates from the Home Mission Desk and the Cartitas Social Action Network and more on the Faith in Health conference to be held in Liverpool in June.
