Pope urges price of Christian unity at Sydney ecumenical service
The Pope told more than 600 Catholics and other Christians that unity must come at a price like Christ paid on the cross. The service in Sydney Town Hall, organized by the Australian Council of Churches and the Roman Catholic Church, marked a historic Catholic and Protestant gathering. He had earlier led a Mass at Randwick for about 150,000 schoolchildren and visited the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children and a Little Sisters of the Poor home.

Dr Ponnamperuma says this supports chemical evolution and may hint at life origins elsewhere, while Professor Lovering notes potential asteroid origin and previous contamination concerns.
