The archbishops
of Canterbury and York have taken the unprecedented step of writing to every Minister
of Anglican Church, issuing a call this week – the week leading up to Pentecost
(the Sunday when we remember how the Holy Spirit fell on the Christians in
Jerusalem, soon after Christ’s resurrection, and a large numbers of people became
Christians).
They have
invited all the churches to join together in a week of prayer, that the good
news of Christ may be shared throughout the nation. The hope is that:
All Christians may deepen their relationship
with Jesus Christ
All Christians may have
confidence to share the good news of Jesus.Many may respond to the call of Jesus Christ to follow him as disciples, to live out
the gospel and to seek God’s
kingdom from day to day.
