Cardinal Vincent Nichols gives the Address for the 80th Anniversary Service for the UN at MCHW.

This video features Cardinal Vincent Nichols speaking at the Service of Thanksgiving marking 80 years since the first meeting of the United Nations at Methodist Central Hall Westminster. In his address, Cardinal Nichols reflects on January 1946, when delegates from 51 nations gathered in this building after the Second World War to choose cooperation over conflict and dialogue over destruction. He speaks honestly about the pressures facing international cooperation today, including war, displacement, climate change and growing division. He argues that peace is built through patience, respect, hospitality and dialogue — not as abstract ideals, but as daily practice. The address also highlights the practical impact of the United Nations over eight decades, including peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, mediation and public health. He describes this work as “mercy made manifest”. Set against a complex global backdrop, this is a thoughtful, grounded and challenging contribution to the ongoing conversation about peace, justice and international cooperation. 📍 Location: Methodist Central Hall Westminster, London 📅 Event: 80th Anniversary of the United Nations, January 2026 If you found this address helpful, please consider liking, sharing, and subscribing for more content from this historic event.
