"The new pope has made clear his wish to work for the unity of Christians spread among different Churches -- Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans and other Protestants.

In an unprecedented gesture he sent a message of "cordial" greeting to the chief protestant Church in France, the Reformed Church, which is holding a synod, or general assembly in the south of the country and assuring them of his "prayers", according to the Church."
