May 7, 2025
As the date approaches for the gathering of the first General Synod of the worldwide Traditional Anglican Church (to be held at St. George’s Cathedral in Columbus, Georgia from May 20 to 23), your prayers are requested for God’s blessing and guidance; and for the safe travel of the Bishops, Clergy and Lay Delegates from across the TAC.
Prayers for General Synod:
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who by thy Holy Spirit didst preside in the Council of the blessed Apostles, and hast promised, through thy Son Jesus Christ, to be with thy Church to the end of the world: We beseech thee to be present with the General Synod of the Traditional Anglican Church about to be assembled in thy Name. Save its members from all error, ignorance, pride, and prejudice; and of thy great mercy vouchsafe so to direct, govern, and sanctify them in their deliberations by thy Holy Spirit, that through thy blessing the Gospel of Christ may be faithfully preached and obeyed, the order and discipline of thy Church maintained, and the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour enlarged and extended. Grant this, we beseech thee, through the merits and mediation of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
GUIDE, we beseech thee, Almighty God, by the light of thy Holy Spirit, the counsels of the Bishops, Clergy and Laity about to assemble in the first General Synod of the Traditional Anglican Church; that thy Church may dwell in peace, and fulfil all the mind of Him who loved it and gave Himself for it, thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
O GOD our heavenly Father, who art present in thy power in every place: Preserve, we beseech thee, all who travel by land, water, or air, especially those traveling to the first General Synod of the Traditional Anglican Church in Columbus, Georgia; surround them with thy loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey’s end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
In Christ Jesus our Lord,
