King Charles' birthday party at the British Embassy

On 20 June, the Chaplain-President attended the celebrations of the official birthday of King Charles of Great Britain at the British Embassy. This annual event is an excellent opportunity for various Belgian personalities with links to Britain to catch up and meet informally. Jack was able to say farewell on behalf of the Anglicans of Belgium to Martin Shearman, British ambassador to Belgium since 2019 - credit is due to him for doing his best to soften the difficulties in Belgian-British relations caused by Brexit - who is leaving Brussels this summer to take up a post in the FCDO in London.
