FOR OUR PRAYERS.From the Diocesan Prayer Diary produced quarterly.
Anglican Cycle of Prayer:
Pray for the Anglican Church of Australia – Most Revd Geoffrey Smith.
Diocesan Cycle:
Pray for the development of shared ministry in our churches, including the Local Ministry Scheme, study opportunities and shared resources and good practice: for all that helps stimulate faith, support teamwork and motivate action.
The Wider View:
The issue of migrants in small boats remains in the news and is likely to feature as an election issue. Over 90% of “small boat migrants” seek asylum; historically some two-thirds
of claims have been accepted, but there is a major backlog despite attempts to deal with this. The “peak season” for Channel crossing begins in May. Pray that all in genuine need of refuge may find it.
