1. That Archbishop Sarah boldly proclaims the truth of Christ crucified without fear and without co-option. That the Christ she shares is the one about whom the scriptures testify, not one who has been re-edited and re-drawn to support political agendas.

2. That Archbishop Sarah finds new ways to articulate the gospel of Christ to generations who have not heard or understood it before. As more and more people in the UK grow up in households where there is no tradition of church-going, Bible reading or prayer, I pray Archbishop Sarah will lead us in finding new ways to communicate to new generations.

3. That disagreements in the Church be held openly and honestly and that Archbishop Sarah will not become a personal focal point for entrenched positions and long-running disputes, but that she will be a facilitator of conversations which allow both grace and truth to rise to the surface.

4. That Archbishop Sarah is strengthened to lead the Church in England to become a beacon of hope where people of all faiths and none are struck by the commitment of the Christian community in living a life which reflects Jesus's teaching to love our neighbours, serve the vulnerable and the needy, strive for peace and reconciliation as we exhibit the fruits of the Spirit.

5. That Archbishop Sarah is able to support the growth of the next generation of leaders in the Church of England, able to continue this work after her term as Archbishop has ended.

May God richly bless her, strengthen her with His Spirit and inspire her leadership of the Church. May God help us to see our role in supporting her and working with her in the service of Christ.
