Arrangements for the Election of the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland

The bishops of the Church of Ireland will meet to elect a new Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland on Thursday February 27 and Friday February 28 2020. The election follows the retirement of the Most Revd Dr Richard Clarke on Sunday February 2.

The bishops seek the prayerful support of the members, parishes and dioceses of the Church of Ireland, as they prepare to meet in community to elect a new Archbishop of Armagh. The following prayers may be helpful for people to support them in this way.

The guidance of the Holy Spirit

God,

who from of old taught the hearts of your faithful people

by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit:

Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things

and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort;

through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour,

who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen

 

For the ministry of all Christian people

Almighty and everlasting God,

by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church

is governed and sanctified:

Hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people,

that in their vocation and ministry

they may serve you in holiness and truth

to the glory of your name;

through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen
