Diana lesson for the church
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Archbishop of Canterbury yesterday urged the Church of England to learn lessons from the "Princess Diana phenomenon" and to tap into the spirituality demonstrated by the reaction to her death. In a speech in Leicestershire, Dr George Carey called on formal religion to "adapt and innovate".
He said churches should build with the many people who may not go to church but who did have a spiritual faith. Dr Carey was speaking as part of the Ashe lecture at St Helen's church in Ashby de la Zouch during a two-day visit to Leicestershire.
He said the decline in formal religious observation did not imply wholesale abandonment of belief in the religious and spiritual significance of life.
