Working with the Holy See
The Embassy to the Holy See is a vital part of the UK’s overseas network.
The mission works jointly with the Holy See on international development, interfaith and climate change. But those examples are replicated many times over in ecumenism, conflict prevention, disarmament and human rights, not to mention the value of the Holy See as a global listening post.
In an era when religion has once more emerged in international relations, the Vatican is key to the continuing policy debate on the proper boundary between faith and politics. The Vatican is a key stabilising influence in the global faith/politics debate and helps keep discussion rational.
