[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Christian unity is rooted in the one Lord Jesus Christ. This week, I was delighted to welcome Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals and representatives of other Churches to Lambeth Palace. I am deeply grateful for the faith, witness and ministry of my brothers and sisters in Christ across our different Churches and traditions. Please join me in praying that we may grow in the unity for which Jesus himself prayed: “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).

It was great to hear of the passion for #ecumenical working and joint witness from all six of our @ChurchesEngland Presidents.

Thank you to each of them for their leadership and service and how they represent their part of the English church and the CTE ‘family’

A privilege and blessing to attend last night’s Evensong at Saint George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle with HM The King, my dear brother and friend the Dean of Windsor, Bishop Christopher Cocksworth, and friends and colleagues from across the ecumenical life of the United Kingdom. The service incorporated the dedication of the Mosaic Icon of ‘Christ of Cefalu’, presented to His Majesty by @Pontifex during the King’s historic visit to the Vatican.
