I feel a deep sense of grief, humility and profound shame having visited the site of the horrific #JallianwalaBagh massacre in Amritsar today. Here, a great number of Sikhs – as well as Hindus, Muslims and Christians – were shot dead by British troops in 1919.

Striking image of Archbishop of Canterbury at site of the Amritsar massacre. He expressed his "profound shame" at the actions of British troops in 1919 and said he recognises "the sins of my British colonial history".

The CofE says only a man and a woman can wed. Bishops were asked if an opposite-gender couple who marry + then one transitions are "still married" under church law. Replied: "If a couple wish to remain married after one partner has transitioned, who are we to put them asunder?"

The Pope has given final approval to change a line in the Lord's Prayer. Instead of: "Lead us not into temptation" It will now say: "Do not let us fall into temptation." Pope Francis said the original line implies that God "throws" people into temptation.
