A prayer for the Lambeth Conference of Bishops currently meeting in Canterbury:
Dear Lord We pray for wisdom for church leaders in the Anglican Communion as they gather to discuss complex and potentially divisive issues. We ask that the delegates would be held in the spirit of love and mutual respect and would reflect to the world your values. In Jesus' name Amen
