Yesterday morning, the Cathedral of the Holy Family (UGCC) in London performed a Divine Liturgy with funeral service for the Archpriest John Alexis Salter, a very important figure in the (particularly English-speaking) Byzantine-rite Catholic community in the United Kingdom, and equally important in ecumenical dialogue. More details here [facebook.com].
While I never had the honour to meet Fr. John myself, I thought I would share for all those that might have known of him and his work, or for others to learn of him now and pray for his eternal soul.
I am also attaching the memorial-card, which seems to summarise his life's work quite well. The embed does not seem to work for me, so I hope it is visible; please let me know if not.

Eternal memory!

A good, holy and kind priest. Memory Eternal; May he rest in Peace.
