UK Catholic and Anglican heads in first live Facebook event

Friday, June 3rd, 2016

The heads of the Anglican and Catholic churches in the United Kingdom produced their first joint Facebook Live video last week.

Archbishop Justin Welby and Cardinal Vincent Nichols took part in an unscripted discussion from Lambeth Palace.

They answered questions that came in and spoke on a variety of topics including Pentecost and prayer.

One hour after the live video, more than 4000 people had watched it.

Many comments expressed disappointment that the video only lasted for nine minutes and 20 seconds.
