Bishop Robert and Bishop David have addressed a pastoral letter to all the Anglican communities in the Diocese in Europe and asked that it be read during the Sunday Service.
You can read the whole letter by clicking HERE.
We have had English-speaking chaplaincies on the European mainland for over 400 years. That
is not going to change, and the Church of England remains fully committed to this her Diocese
in Europe.
We exhort you all to pray. Pray for political leaders across Europe as they seek to maintain
European cohesiveness. Pray that the UK may be a generous and outward looking country that
contributes to human flourishing around the world. Pray also for church leaders that we may
enable the Christian family to model that harmony and unity which is the vision of God’s
kingdom, in the midst of a fractured world.
Faith is the powerful antidote to fear and uncertainty. As Christians, we believe in a God who
holds the destiny of the nations in his hands. So at an uncertain time in Europe’s history, we
pray for and invoke the providential guiding and leading of God in the hearts of us all and upon
every nation.
