    Friends,

    I thought I'd come back momentarily to show this to you all...

    The selection process for the two names to be sent to the Prime Minister, as to the next Archbishop of Canterbury, is now underway. For the next three days, 16 clerical and lay members of a Crown Commission will deliberate on the subject.

    Please pray intensely for the Church of England, especially by using this prayer released by that institution today:

    Almighty God, you have given your Holy Spirit to the Church to lead us into all truth: bless with the Spirit's grace and presence the members of the Crown Nominations Commission. Keep them steadfast in faith and united in love, that they may seek your will, manifest your glory and prepare the way of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
