Please join Bishop Sean in congratulations and prayer for Archbishop Hosam Naoum on his appointment to the Canterbury Crown Nominations Commission, and for the wider membership of the Commission as it works prayerfully and collaboratively to discern and nominate the next Archbishop of Canterbury. 

Heavenly Father,
shepherd of your Church,
send us a faithful pastor
to lead with wisdom, courage, and love, proclaiming your Gospel,
celebrating the sacraments,
and guiding your people in unity and truth. Strengthen your Church, we pray,
and direct us in your ways;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
