Bishop Robert Forsyth, Bishop of South Sydney and Commissary of the Diocese of Sydney, has called upon the people of the diocese to be in prayer for the Lambeth Conference which starts this weekend in England.

“You will remember that when Archbishop Jensen announced our painful decision, in conscience, not to attend Lambeth, he also assured Archbishop Williams of our prayers for the conference. We grieve at the failings and defections from orthodox Christian behaviour and teaching in our Communion and fervently pray that things may yet be healed. We pray that both Lambeth and the GAFCON movement will be used by God to help churches throughout our communion move forward in love and truth.”
