One puts the future of the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East in jeopardy; the other, the future of the diocese itself. Synod reacted strongly to news that legal control of the Anglican Centre in Doha, Qatar, has been wrested from the diocese by the local church council. The situation emerged in a report to Synod by Fr Ian Nicholson, General Manager of the Anglican Centre. He revealed that the Qatar Foreign Minis- try had authorised the renewal of the Centre's licence to church council members and not to the diocese, as before. “We are in negotiation with the [Church of the Epiphany] Council as to how the running and administration of the Centre will continue,” he said.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.
