The scenes emerging of a London-bound plane carrying many British nationals crashing in the Indian city of Ahmedabad are devastating. I am being kept updated as the situation develops, and my thoughts are with the passengers and their families at this deeply distressing time.

What we’ve got to is independent scrutiny, and that is progress. However, what we really need is operational independence in our safeguarding. We can still get there - but Synod’s decision yesterday makes for a longer and more complex path. @churchofengland @synod

This morning the General Synod agreed that there was a need for major culture change in the Church of England to make it a safer organisation. This afternoon they voted for a measure that will leave the power of bishops completely unchanged and unchallenged.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person. My nephew Matthew, now a @Georgetown sophomore, shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. My

Hot off the heels of International Literacy Day I'm delighted to share that the UK is helping Pakistani teachers bring children's literacy in Urdu and English up to a standard which will help them thrive at school and later in life.
Teaching children at their level - not age - helps them catch up faster and build a brighter future. With 8/10 children in Pakistan falling behind, this is key to the UK’s innovative pilot project in 200 schools in KP & Punjab, reaching 8000 students, including 4000 girls.

Jesus conquers the hardness of our hearts. He helps us overcome our fears, opens our ears, and loosens our tongues. We can therefore rediscover our identity as beloved children of God and as brothers and sisters. #GospelOfToday #ApostolicJourney

Brilliant to see the fruit of @FCDOGovUK's labours this morning, learning what Pakistan has achieved in implementing its National Health Vision and which challenges remain.
How do you ensure everyone has access to quality healthcare? Our findings are simple: merge health and population strategies, prioritise primary healthcare, and collaborate across sectors. The UK and Pakistan can work together to build a more prosperous future for all.
