“This is one of those occasions when the Christian faith speaks deeply into our present context. The terrible things that happened don’t get the last word.
In the end love, life and resurrection are where the story takes us,” Bishop Nicholas said.
He added that there are similarities between Jesus’ betrayal and Skripal’s attack.
“Salisbury has been through a difficult time, it’s got some of the same ingredients in terms of betrayal, a murderous attack and people who have been deeply injured by this,” Bishop Nicholas said.
