Prayer for the Enthronement of The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Sarah Mullally, 106th Archbishop of Canterbury

God of grace and glory,
you have set Sarah among your people
to bear witness to your truth and mercy.
Clothe her in the armor of faith,
that she may stand firm in times of trial.
Anoint her with the oil of gladness,
that her service may be marked by joy.
Guide her with the lamp of your Word,
that her steps may lead others to your light.
Bless her voice to speak peace,
her hands to lift the weary,
and her heart to welcome the stranger.
Let her ministry be a wellspring of hope,
a beacon to illumine our path,
and a song of praise to your holy name.
Through Jesus Christ,
our Good Shepherd and Great High Priest.
Amen.

A Joint Letter from 154 Bishops of The Episcopal Church: Whose Dignity Matters?

"What happened a week ago in Minnesota and is happening in communities across the country runs counter to God’s vision of justice and peace. This crisis is about more than one city or state—it’s about who we are as a nation. The question before us is simple and urgent: Whose dignity matters?... Every act of courage matters. We must keep showing up for one another. We are bound together because we are all made in the image of God. This begins with small, faithful steps… As bishops in the Episcopal Church, we promise to keep showing up—to pray, to speak, and to stand with every person working to make our communities just, safe, and whole."
