The southern-most cathedral in the Anglican Communion, Christ Church Cathedral at Stanley in the Falkland Islands, is to get a new rector. And the priest chosen to head up the Anglican Church on the Islands is the Revd Nicholas Mercer, who – as Lt Col Nicholas Mercer – was the chief legal officer for the British Army during the 2003 Iraq war.
The Falkland Islands will be holding a memorial service for the late Baroness Thatcher on Wednesday 17th April, which has been declared a public holiday, announced the local government.
