One
of the great unearned privileges of
a Bishop of the Anglican Communion
is his attendance at the Lambeth
Conference. At Lambeth we learn
in many areas things we did not
expect to learn. In the area of
worship the Conference gave the
dictum that in the whole Anglican
Communion throughout the world
the normal Sunday service is now
the Family Eucharist. As we discussed
this I exclaimed to the Bishop
next to me, "This is our answer
to one hundred years of prayer
by the Confraternity of the Blessed
Sacrament." I firmly believe
this is true; the church has been
prayed into it.
This
short history of our efforts at
prayer is written by one who states
facts in such a way that an inevitable
conclusion may be drawn. I am sure
the conclusion should take the
form of a Resolution by each of
us: I will keep on praying for
God's will to be accomplished through
the loyalty and devotion of the
Confraternity. We commend this
to all who love to pray to our
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament of
the Altar.
