Vatican Radio reports that English Cardinal Vincent Nichols and the Archbishop of Canterbury have launched a joint initiative that encourages their flocks to pray and work together in service of the poorest and most vulnerable people in their parishes.

On Sunday the leaders visited a project in London run by the Catholic Worker Movement. On Palm Sunday they will travel together to Kent on England’s South coast to visit a family care centre supported by the Diocese of Canterbury.
