A Prayer for Anglican Communion

We thank you, loving God, for calling us to belong to the Anglican Communion.

Thank you for our inheritance of common prayer, ordered ministry, and our expanding diversity of languages and cultures.

Thank you for the bonds of affection that strengthen our Communion, through the Archbishop of Canterbury, our bishops meeting at the Lambeth Conference the work of the Anglican Consultative Council, and the meeting of the Primates of our Churches.

Thank you for the baptismal faith we share in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, and for the Holy Spirit poured out on all of us without reserve or distinction.

Through times of joy and times of struggle, keep opening our hearts to one another with mutual understanding,
forbearance, and compassion,through Jesus Christ our Lord.

AMEN.
