A Lambeth Prayer Vigil

Province I of the Episcopal Church (of which the Diocese of Connecticut is a member) announces a prayer vigil for our bishops while they gather at Lambeth, July 16-August 3.

“Petitions for a Lambeth Prayer Vigil," written by the Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris, is for use by congregations and individuals. Two specific times are suggested: 7 a.m. (noon in England) and noon (5 p.m. in England).

You can find more information on the vigil including the prayer, here.

I will be participating while on vacation and when I return.

The Lambeth Conference

"When the bishops of the Anglican Communion convene in Canterbury this summer for the 2008 Lambeth Conference, they will find a gathering differing in many ways from its predecessors and one that is intended to strengthen their sense of a shared Anglican identity and help to equip them for their roles as leaders in mission."
