What a joy to conclude our meeting with a Choral Eucharist at St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.
During her Sermon on Amos 9:11–15 and Matthew 9:14–17, the Archbishop of Canterbury said:
‘Being with you this week has reminded me that what unites us is greater than what divides us. As Christians, as a Communion, we are a family who love God and earnestly seeks to follow our Lord Jesus Christ. This week, we have treated one another with respect and with dignity. We have spoken openly and honestly and we have acknowledged each other’s pain. Maybe this is the enduring fruit of this week - may it be a gift of grace and blessing to the whole church. In this way, we proclaim with confidence the hope we have found in Jesus Christ, as we become the body of Christ.
‘As we leave ACC-19, we may not have rebuilt all our cities, we may not yet have planted all the vineyards, but what we have seen is the fruit of the Spirit at work among us and the hope of God’s promise that He will raise up, He will repair and He will rebuild.’
