Tomorrow, for the first time, Primates from around the @AnglicanWorld are meeting in Rome, for four days of prayer, pilgrimage, discussion and fellowship. Together we will discuss common priorities and challenges in the global mission and shared life of the #AnglicanCommunion, particularly for churches and communities impacted by the instability of conflict, the climate crisis, and poverty. We will pray for the needs of all, the witness of the Communion, and the unity of God's church.
