As the General Synod meeting approaches we urge all of our members to pray for the Catholic Group and our Bishops as well as all members of the Synod:
O Lord, hear the prayers of your people
who call upon you;
and grant that they may both perceive and know
what things they ought to do,
and also may have grace and power
faithfully to fulfil them;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
