When the primates of the Anglican Communion met at Kanuga [TLC, April 1], they called for a period of nine days of prayer. Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey said he hoped clergy and lay persons would give "serious attention" to prayer for the Communion during the days between Ascension Day (May 24) and the Feast of Pentecost (June 3). The archbishop said he was particularly concerned about the plight of fellow Anglicans in the Sudan and the conflict in the Holy Land, particularly "the marginalization the Christian community faces."

We urge readers to pray for the Anglican Communion, especially during this time, praying particularly that we may have the will and wisdom to address current problems facing the Communion.
