A prayer for the next Archbishop of Canterbury. 🙏

Almighty and everlasting God,
the only worker of great marvels,
send down upon your servant Sarah,
called to be Archbishop of Canterbury,
and all who are committed to her care,
the spirit of your saving grace,
and that they may truly please you,
pour upon them the continual dew of your blessing.
Grant this, O Lord,
for the honour of our advocate and mediator,
Jesus Christ.
Amen.

I was very shocked to hear about the attack on Heaton Park Synagogue. To the Jewish community in Manchester and to all affected I send my deepest sympathy. On this most holy day for the Jewish people, Yom Kippur, we pray all may live alongside each other in harmony and respect.

A prayer following the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. 🙏

God our refuge and strength,
close at hand in our distress;
meet us in our sorrow and lift our eyes
to the peace and light of your constant care.
Help us so to hear your word of grace
that our fear will be dispelled by your love.
Amen.

Today is #NationalPoetryDay, a wonderful initiative to encourage all of us to know and love and read poetry. For me, hardly a day goes by when I don't read a poem.

I welcomed bishop's chaplains to Lambeth Palace today for a time of fellowship, reflection, and encouragement. Thank you for your commitment and service. I couldn't have done what I’ve sought to do as a bishop if I hadn't had some wonderful men and women serving alongside me.
