RIP Sophie Kinsella (1969–2025)
It is with great sadness we share the news of the death of Madeleine (Maddy) Wickham, widely known as Sophie Kinsella. Maddy wrote with rare courage and brilliance, with unique wit and warmth. We thank her for her books, her voice and her incomparable spirit. We will miss her dearly.

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”
