Installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury
Bishop Michael (Bishop of Birmingham) has sent the following to parishes within the diocese.
“As Archbishop Sarah prepares to be installed next Wednesday 25th March as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, I write to encourage us to be praying for her and her family, for the Church of England and for the wider Anglican Communion."
Almighty God,
you call your Church in every age
to proclaim the Gospel of Christ:
look with mercy upon your servant Sarah,
and grant that, as deacon, she may care for those in need,
as priest, sustain us with the ministry of word and sacrament,
and as bishop, guard the faith
and build up the body of Christ in holiness.
Give her wisdom and kindness
that as archbishop, she may promote unity, seek truth,
and lead us in the way of righteousness and peace;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.”
