We are pleased to hear the announcement of the next Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Revd and Right Honourable Dame Sarah Mullally DBE.
The Acting Bishop of Ely invites all in the Diocese to join in prayer for the Church of England and the whole Anglican Communion, and especially that Bishop Sarah may know God’s presence with her as she prepares for this calling.
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 blessings.
Grant this, O Lord,
for the honour of our advocate and mediator,
Jesus Christ.Amen.
Thanks be to God.
