A Season of Repentance – Lent 5

In 2016, the Primates of the Anglican Communion asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to establish a Task Group to “maintain conversation” among the Primates of the Anglican Communion as part of their commitment to “walk together” despite “deep differences”. The primates requested the group “with the intention of restoration of relationship, the rebuilding of mutual trust, healing the legacy of hurt, recognising the extent of our commonality and exploring our deep differences, ensuring they are held between us in the love and grace of Christ.”

As part of their work, the Task Group called the Anglican Communion to a Season of Repentance, around Lent 5 (29 March 2020). At their meeting in Jordan in January 2020, the Primates considered the work of the Task Group and commended a collection of prayers which can be used as part of this Season of Repentance.

The resources are available to download in pdf, for printing, or as a Word document, for cutting and pasting into other documents, such as service booklets.
