This new year brings a prayer from Pope Francis through his Worldwide Network of Prayer for peace and justice in the world. Writing on this ecumenical desire, Tom Layden SJ encourages people from all faiths and none to unite in our diversity and common desire for peace. Tapping the zeitgeist of climate change concern, Kevin Hargaden wonders whether the recent Extinction Rebellion protests were extreme enough in their actions given the bleak ecological reality we face; and Vincent Sherlock, peering into the mystery of what a new year may bring, finds reassurance in the word HOPE and how it can guide our actions and resolutions. Our RE:LINK supplement explores the importance of signs and symbols in our Christian communications.

Regular features include gardening, crossword, prayer, young readers pages and a recipe from one of our readers for a scrumptious Apple Pudding.
