Statement from the Primates of Nigeria, Southeast Asia and Rwanda

Episcopal News Service. October 17, 2003 [031017-2]

It is with great gratitude to God and appreciation to the people of the Anglican Communion and other churches that we greet you in the name of Jesus Christ.

As we met this week at Lambeth we experienced the power of the Holy Spirit moving among us. We are so grateful to God for hearing the prayers and cries of his praying people to preserve both the truth and the unity of the Anglican Communion. We urge continued prayer that the whole Anglican Communion may continue by God's power to witness to the transforming love of Jesus for all people.
