The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally, gave the sermon for the 19th meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council, at St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast on July 4. The Sermon was on Amos 9:11-15 and Matthew 9:14-17. During the sermon, Archbishop Sarah 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."

Receiving The Nairobi-Cairo Proposals as resources for “continuing discernment”, the 19th meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC-19) passed a resolution today calling for further dialogue across the Anglican Communion over the next three years.

At ACC-19, Anglicans have discussed the huge scale of the global migration and refugee crisis, and ways to collaborate in advocacy and humanitarian response. The Primate of Alexandria shared powerfully about how the Church in Egypt is responding, describing ministry amongst displaced peoples as the: ‘quiet, patient work of restoring dignity to those the world has forgotten’. The Anglican Alliance has released a resource called ‘People On The Move’ to equip churches support refugees and displaced people.

Our brothers and sisters in Venezuela are facing immense hardship following two catastrophic earthquakes and the many aftershocks. At moments such as these, we are called not to turn away from suffering, but to respond with compassion and practical support for our neighbours in need. The launch of the DEC Venezuela Earthquake Appeal today brings together humanitarian charities who are working with local partners to reach affected communities with urgent assistance. I encourage all who are able, to support the DEC Venezuela Earthquake Appeal. Your generosity can help provide vital assistance to those affected and offer hope at a time of great need. Please keep the people of Venezuela, and all those responding to this crisis, in your prayers.

Christian hope is the confidence that God is still at work among us. And because God is faithful, we need not act from fear. We need not act from anxiety. We need not imagine that the future of the Communion rests solely in our hands. My presidential address to ACC-19: archbishopofcanterbury.org/s…

As we gather in Belfast for ACC-19, we join with churches around the Anglican Communion today in prayer for the people of Venezuela in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes. We pray for all those who are grieving, or waiting for news of loved ones. We pray for those who have been injured, and all those who are courageously and selflessly supporting the rescue and relief efforts. And we pray too for the churches and faith communities who are offering pastoral care and solace at this immensely painful time. Into the hands of our loving God and in the name of Jesus Christ, we place all those who watch, wait and weep. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Following their pilgrimage in the Holy Land, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, have written a pastoral letter to the Episcopal (Anglican) Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, as well as Anglicans around the global Anglican Communion. @ArchbishopSarah @naoum1974

Following our pilgrimage in the Holy Land, myself and the Anglican Archbishop in Jerusalem, Hosam Naoum, have written a pastoral letter to the Episcopal (Anglican) Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, as well as Anglicans around the global Anglican Communion. "From 19-24 June, 2026, we travelled as disciples of Christ on a pilgrimage through the Holy Land, praying and listening to God, listening to those we met, offering solidarity with those that are suffering, and allowing ourselves to be changed by all that we have seen and heard. To be a pilgrim is to undertake a journey through places, but it is also a journey of the heart and mind. Through this pilgrimage we have found ourselves drawn more deeply into the realities of life experienced by Palestinian Christians and by many others who call this land their home. During our pilgrimage we have witnessed how the Church remains a place of encounter, hospitality, and witness. Through its schools, hospitals, and ministries, the Church defends human dignity and works for life lived in all its fullness. Amidst many hardships, we have witnessed a resilient Christian steadfastness that chooses love over hate and refuses to let despair have the final word. However, despite their faithful resistance we fear for the long-term future of the indigenous Christian Palestinian presence in the Holy Land that stretches back to the time when our Lord walked this land. This existential challenge demands our focused attention and collective responsibility. The time to act is now." Read the full letter here: archbishopofcanterbury.org/n…

On the last day of our pilgrimage in the Holy Land, praying with Patriarch Theophilos III and Archbishop Hosam in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the most profound gift. Jerusalem is the city from which the Gospel first went out into the world, and to which our Lord will one day return. The Churches of this holy city are custodians of a living Christian presence in the very place where the foundations of our faith were laid. My prayer is that, by God’s grace, we may continue to grow together into that unity for which Christ prayed. That we may bear witness together to the hope of the Gospel. And that we may offer to this city, to the Holy Land, and to the world, a foretaste of the peace of God’s coming Kingdom. Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the Christians of the Holy Land.

Today on our pilgrimage we met with the Nasser family on their farm, now commonly known as the Tent of Nations - located south of Bethlehem in occupied Palestine. The Nasser family are a Palestinian Christian family who have owned this farm for over 100 years. But 35 years ago, the Israeli authorities declared his farm and the surrounding area to be State land. Ever since then, the family have been engaged in a struggle to register and protect their farm. And with each passing year, settlements encroach on more and more of their land. But the Nassars continue their Tent of Nations work with steadfast nonviolence and faith, living their message every day: “We refuse to be enemies.” They are an example of creative, hopeful, Christian resistance to injustice and they need the support of Christians around the world. During my visit today I had the honour of planting an olive tree on the Nasser farm. At a time when many Palestinian Christians are leaving, olive trees are a symbol of their deep roots in this land. As this tree grows, I pray that peace grows too in Palestine and Israel. Please pray for the Nasser family, Palestinian Christians and all those working for a just peace in the Holy Land.
