Pray for the Anglican Communion
Bible Focus: 1 Peter 2: 1-12 – A holy people following Christ
Present in 165 countries, the Anglican Communion is a diverse, global network of independent and interdependent churches. Representing a wide range of Christian traditions, cultures and languages, the conference will discuss the life of the Anglican Communion.
A prayer from The Brotherhood of St Gregory, The Episcopal Church
O God, by your grace and Spirit you have raised up witnesses and servants in many lands and cultures: Pour out your blessing upon the churches and provinces of the Anglican Communion, and upon their leaders as they gather for fellowship in the Lambeth Conference, that their diversity may enrich their common witness and service to the honor and glory of your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
A prayer from The Community of the Holy Name, Diocese of Zululand, Anglican Church of Southern Africa
Holy omnipresent Father, who while you are in heaven,
You looked down on earth and its surroundings.
We pray for the Anglican Communion, spread throughout the world.
We pray that you will pour out your Holy Spirit as you did at Pentecost.
Help us Lord to have passion to read and receive your word.
Send us revival and make us holy. Help us to give generously.
We pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to operate freely Within the Anglican Communion.
Make all your people realise the power of accepting
Jesus Christ
As the Lord and Saviour.
Rise people who will visit those who are newly born again.
We ask in Jesus Christ’s name.
Amen
What is the Lambeth Conference?
Every bishop of the Anglican Communion is invited to the Lambeth Conference, which is convened by the Most Reverend Justin Welby, The Archbishop of Canterbury. The Lambeth Conference has met since 1867, happens once-a-decade, and is a significant event in the life of the Anglican Communion.
The conference will explore church and world affairs. Outcomes of the conference will shape the life of the Anglican Communion in the decade ahead.
The Anglican Communion
The Anglican Communion has no central authority figure or body. It is made up of 42 autonomous members or provinces. Each member church makes its own decisions in its own way.
However, their decision-making bodies are guided by recommendations from each of the four so-called Instruments of Communion
The Secretariat, also known as the Anglican Communion Office, based in London, England support Anglicans and Episcopalians worldwide to carry out any requests from the Instruments and work to enable members of the Anglican Communion to fulfil their calling to be God’s people in the world.
Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
