Primate’s Statement on Ukraine

The Traditional Anglican Church worldwide stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We pray for peace; we pray for the end of the war, aggression and violence from Putin’s Russian forces; and we pray for a free, united and independent Ukraine.

As Primate, I invite all the Bishops, Clergy and People to continue prayers for President Volodymyr Zelensky, for the Ukrainian people, and their armed forces, as they defend their country and freedom. I would also ask as many as are able to contribute to the Red Cross or other humanitarian organizations helping the thousands of Ukrainians forced to seek safety in neighbouring countries.

O GOD, who makest wars to cease, and by thy mighty arm dost overthrow the adversaries of them that put their trust in thee: Come to the help of thy servants who humbly call upon thy mercy; that being delivered from the violence of the enemy, they may evermore praise thee with thanksgiving; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
