Archbishop Oscar Romero lecture:footsteps
Archbishop Rowan Williams and the ecumenical future 

Rowan Williams, the emeritus Archbishop of Canterbury, delivered the Archbishop Romero Memorial Lecture in December 2014 to a packed congregation at St Chad’s Cathedral in Birmingham. He gave an inspiring, challenging and memorable reflection on the theme ‘A Saint for the Whole People of God: Oscar Romero and the Ecumenical Future’. Here is the audio of his presentation and the text is available on the Romero Trust website. Earlier this month Pope Francis recognised Oscar Romero as a martyr who was killed out of ‘hatred of the faith’ and he will be beatified later this year.
