On 24 April, a large Anglican delegation (from the Central Committee: Chaplain-President, Vice-President, Mrs Grace West, Secretary-General, together with Canon John Wilkinson from Holy Trinity Brussels) were honoured to attend a mass in memory and thanks for the life of Pope Francis in the Koekelberg Basilica in Brussels, which although it is Belgium's largest church and the 14th largest church in the world, was full to bursting for the occasion. Mgr Luc Terlinden (Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels), Mgr Franco Coppola (Papal Nuncio to Belgium) and the Catholic bishops of Belgium concelebrated the mass. Mgr Terlinden gave a superb sermon based on Pope Francis' three priorities for mission: evangelism/openness to the world, joy, mercy. Everyone was delighted to welcome King Albert and Queen Paola, who at 90 and 87 are solid proof that age is no barrier. Representatives of Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Islam and Buddhism were also present, underlining the universal appeal of Pope Francis and the determination of the faiths of Belgium to live and work together.
