Primates 2016 Evensong“As we reported yesterday, all the GAFCON and some Global South (GS) Primates declined to attend Communion in the morning.

We have little details of discussions during the day but the most dramatic moment was evensong at 5.30pm when it very quickly became apparent that a large number of Primates were missing, not even attending as they had done on Monday…”

– At StandFirm, David Ould has some reports on the Primates’ meeting, Day 2. Please be very much in prayer for all involved.

“Dear Prayer Supporters,

The discussions at Canterbury are at a crucial stage and we know that God is sovereign, hence we ask you to pray with us:

Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
We turn once more to you in faith,
Interceding for the Primates of the Anglican Communion as they meet in Canterbury.
Please use their endeavors to hallow your great name;
May your kingdom come;
May your will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Uphold your word in the church we pray, so guiding us to live godly and obedient lives, not compromising with this world, but holding forth the gospel of salvation without fear,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Yours in Christ Service
Peter Jensen
GAFCON General Secretary.”

Update: Evening of Day 3 (Wednesday), UK time.
