Sentamu Nails It

This prolonged Yorkist sojourn has few perks. Still slaving away in penitential mode on this 'training the clergy' malarkey. Nearly done - and nearly in truth done in too.

There is though one perfect blessing, which is proximity to the mighty spirit and voice of the local Arch.

He one John Sentamu, famously bereft of dog-collar pending the binning of that great monster Mugabe.

A prayer he has written for Madeleine. No better words than these could there be:

"Keep her safe and take away her fear and anxiety. May your holy angels guard and protect her. We pray that she may be reunited with those who love her. Give hope to all her loved ones and hear our cry for her safe return."

Hear our cry indeed, for her and for all children who suffer today.
