The closing of the conference

The conference closes with summaries from the week, giving thanks to God for all that has happened and looking to the future – asking what will it mean to be God’s Church for God’s World in the decade ahead?

The Sisters of Jesus Way, Church of England

Our prayer for the Lambeth Conference is the prayer of Jesus for His Disciples and for All Believers in John 17:

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name – the name you gave me – so that they may be one as we are one.
John 17:11

My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me….I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
John 17:20-22

Captain of Israel’s host, and guide
Of all who seek the land above,
Beneath thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of thy protecting love;
Our strength, thy grace; our rule, thy word;
Our end, the glory of the Lord.

By thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray;
We shall not full direction need,
Nor miss our providential way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While love, almighty love, is near.
Charles Wesley

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.

Pray for Christian unity

Bible focus: 1 Peter 5: 1-14 – Authority in Christ

The bishops will explore what it means to grow churches that are intentional about discipleship – developing communities of faith that nurture Christians to follow Jesus and develop their spirituality.

The Order of St Benedict – Mucknell Abbey, Church of England

Holy and loving God, we thank you for calling us to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

As we grow in our discipleship, we ask for the gift of eager curiosity to discover ever deeper and richer meaning in Jesus’ way of life and teaching.

Give us the grace to recognise their implications for our own attitudes and ways of living, and rather than take refuge in past assumptions, give us the courage to respond to the challenges with trustful obedience.

May our discipleship be our increasingly faithful witness to your Risen Christ who dwells in us and to your unbounded love for all your creation.

We ask this as members of Christ’s mystical body here on earth. Amen

The Community of the Holy Name, Diocese of Zululand, Anglican Church of Southern Africa

Heavenly Father, you are the only living God.
You bring light in the darkness, you bring hope because you are the God of love.
Lord God, make us one as you are one in the Holy Trinity.
Help us realize that you are the source of unity and that if we are not united we cannot defeat our enemy, the devil.
Let the Holy Spirit take control and keep us united as Christians so that the whole world may confess that we are the children of God and praise him who is our strong tower.
We pray for our Christian families and all other institutions.
When we get weary on the way, unity in Christ will always give us strength to rise on wings like eagles and sing praises to God in the highest.
So, dear Lord, keep us united in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen

Lord Jesus, you are the father to all the people of the world, Especially, those who had confessed that Jesus is Lord. We pray for peace and unity among the Christian family. Let your Holy Spirit dwell and intervene among us when we have different views so as to do the work you sent us to do and fulfil your will.

Order of St Helena, the Episcopal Church

Our prayer for the Lambeth Conference and the life of the Anglican Communion is that we open our hearts to peoples of other faith traditions: where there is a history of hurt and pain, may we seek reconciliation; where there are differences in beliefs and practices, may we engage in respectful dialogue; where we have been divided in our mission and values, may we strive to transcend these differences in our shared responsibility for peace and for stewardship of this precious earth. We pray for sacred friendships to grow and flourish in our common desire to live holy lives as we seek the divine presence.

The Third Order, Society of St Francis, Province of the Americas, The Episcopal Church. Also in Caribbean and South America

Spirit of Love, illumine our hearts and minds to discern the way forward as brothers and sisters ready and willing to respond to the desperate needs of your creation.

We recall St. Francis who reminds us:

All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man. God wants us to help animals if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.

Help us, gentle Spirit, to have the ears to hear the cries of creation, the eyes to see the tears of creatures on the brink and the will to act to heal the suffering all around us.

Inspire our time together, dear Lord, to find a way to rekindle the love for all Creation and embrace the care exemplified by indigenous peoples.

Spirit of Love, keeper of life, inspire us to keep a loving vigil over the needs of creation and take such action that will truly serve to protect and preserve it. Amen

The Community of the Sisters of the Church, Solomon Islands Province. Anglican Church of Melanesia

Lord of the universe, you have created this beautiful world and entrusted it to our care to respect and protect it. Help us to see creation through your eyes that we may see your beauty, goodness and the wonder that surrounds us. Lord, we have fallen short of your glory and have polluted the blue ocean that reflects your unending love and disrespected the inhabitants that dwell there. We have not recognized that our lives and survival depend very much on the respect and care we show your creation. You came to set us free from bondage so help us to care for our mother earth that feeds us daily. Protect us from over-harvesting our natural resources and deforesting the natural beauty of the forest. Increase our love for you so that we may be able to educate our younger generation to care and protect this fragile environment. May the people living in these islands grow in their love and knowledge of you through appreciating the environment they depend upon; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Lord God, who reconciled people to you through Jesus Christ’s intercession and resurrection, you granted us peace in Christ through your blessing to your followers and you call upon us to build peace among human beings, just as your apostle Paul did when he exhorted their followers to be at peace with all people, (Ro 12:18); You call us to pray and supplicate to you with gratitude
(Phil 4:6): we pray for peace for all those who will attend the Lambeth Conference and for the life of the Anglican Communion.

Our prayers are for the people suffering in the world, particularly those living in the midst of violent conflict. We pray also for the Anglican Communion’s continuing support of those who work in areas of conflict.

We pray that where there is violence, the Anglican Church will call for peaceful solutions and deeper dialogue. We pray for new approaches to these problems and for solutions which will reflect the power of Christ’s love and advance his kingdom.

We pray that real and practical support will be given to those who suffer and those who work alongside them, especially Christians in the Anglican Communion who now are suffering for their faith. We ask that the Bishops will commend them, and urge all churches to pray and take action to advocate in their communities and countries for peace to prevail

A season of prayer for revival: Week 5
All Episcopalians are invited to join together for a season of prayer for the Church. In this dedicated season, we pray for The Episcopal Church, who by God’s grace is becoming a new and re-formed church, to be the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement, a church that looks, acts, and loves like Jesus and who follows his way of love.

Starting June 12, 2022, The Episcopal Church and Forward Movement extend an invitation for a season of prayer. Your prayers will offer the foundation for The Episcopal Church’s gathering of the General Convention, a time of worship, prayer, legislative action, and community building. You can find these prayers, along with additional resources, at https://iam.ec/ensopr. Drawn from the Book of Common Prayer, these prayers will be posted daily on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, #seasonofprayer.

Prayers for Week 5
Sunday, July 10: The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Monday, July 11

Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
Every day

O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Please join in daily prayer and consider:

Asking God for a vision for how you and people you know can become more like Jesus.
Asking God to revive the bodies, hearts, and minds of Episcopalians as we seek to become the Beloved Community.
Asking God for new relationships with people who are also seeking to know God’s love.
Asking God’s forgiveness for the times we have served empire and self instead of Christ.
Asking God to inhabit our hearts anew.
Every baptized Episcopalian has vowed to proclaim with our words and our lives the loving, liberating, and life-giving good news of Jesus Christ. Through the spiritual practice of evangelism, we seek, name and celebrate Jesus’ loving presence in the stories of all people – then invite everyone to more. The Evangelism Toolkit helps us to live into that call.

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 6220 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.
