  • An Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer for Canada Advent 1, 2015 to the Reign of Christ, 2016
    An Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer for Canada Advent 1, 2015 to the Reign of Christ, 2016 Introduction The Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission has designed this cycle for use in Canadian Anglican and Lutheran congregations and communities in Sunday liturgies throughout the year. For each Sunday there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in both the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own. Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada are accustomed to praying for the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran World Federation, so it is appropriate for us to pray for our immediate Anglican and Lutheran neighbours. Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context: we are intentionally, as churches in full communion, holding each other in prayer. Some words of explanation may be needed to set this cycle of prayer in context. In using this cycle of prayer congregations may wish to pray regularly by name: for the Primate and National Bishop for the diocesan and synodical bishops in whose region the congregation is located and for the dean of the Lutheran conference and for the Anglican archdeacon and/or regional dean in whose region the congregation is located for the members and work of the Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission Cycle of Prayer 29 Nov. 2015 ACC The people of the Anglican Church of Canada ELCIC The people of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada 6 Dec.
