STATEMENT FROM THE BISHOP OF SOUTHWARK

Bishop TomIn speaking of today's events, Bishop Tom said, “It is with profound regret that I have heard the news of today’s explosions in central London. The news of the deaths and casualties is a cause of great concern and my prayers go out to the families of all those caught in the devastation.

"The scenes that are being broadcast are a clear image of the pain and shock of those caught up in the events.

"I join others in utterly condemning those who commit acts of terrorism under any circumstances.

"At this time our prayers must also be offered to those working in the emergency services that are working to help those who have been hurt."
