Almost at the drop of a hat, Bishop Jo is preparing to join an international delegation of religious leaders (ecumenical and interfaith) to pray for peace in Kyiv next week.

She will be representing the Church of England (and Anglican Communion) with the support of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

She would covet you 'journeying' with her in your own thoughts and pravers. The itinerary will involve flying to Poland then travelling by bus from Warsaw on Monday to Kyiv (estimated 12-16 hours). There are two days of prayers and meetings with local religious and political leaders in Kviv on Tuesday and Wednesday, returning to Warsaw on Thursday.

Please pray for friendship and fellowship to develop across the diverse group of 16 delegates gathering in Warsaw, for encouragement of those with whom they engage in Kyiv, for safe passage along the way, and above all that our prayers and solidarity might be fruitful for the cause of peace with justice across the region.

If data /wifi allows, Bishop Jo will try to keep us updated through the Guildford Diocesan Communications team.
