As is appropriate in the month of May when we celebrate Mary mother of God, the May Messenger considers the roles, the challenges, and the importance of mothers to our families and to our society. We read about peace endeavours in South Sudan and in Syria and we consider how Christian environmentalism has been a feature of papacies going back to Pope Paul VI in the 1970s. Plus, as well as our popular regulars of reflections, crosswords and recipes, our RE:LINK supplement takes a look at The Qur‘an, Islam’s Holy Book.
