On the last day of our pilgrimage in the Holy Land, praying with Patriarch Theophilos III and Archbishop Hosam in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the most profound gift. Jerusalem is the city from which the Gospel first went out into the world, and to which our Lord will one day return. The Churches of this holy city are custodians of a living Christian presence in the very place where the foundations of our faith were laid. My prayer is that, by God’s grace, we may continue to grow together into that unity for which Christ prayed. That we may bear witness together to the hope of the Gospel. And that we may offer to this city, to the Holy Land, and to the world, a foretaste of the peace of God’s coming Kingdom. Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and for the Christians of the Holy Land.

Today I’m beginning a pilgrimage through the Holy Land with my brother in Christ, Archbishop Hosam Naoum. I bring the prayers and solidarity of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, assuring our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers they are not forgotten. Read more here:

Today on our pilgrimage we met with the Nasser family on their farm, now commonly known as the Tent of Nations - located south of Bethlehem in occupied Palestine. The Nasser family are a Palestinian Christian family who have owned this farm for over 100 years. But 35 years ago, the Israeli authorities declared his farm and the surrounding area to be State land. Ever since then, the family have been engaged in a struggle to register and protect their farm. And with each passing year, settlements encroach on more and more of their land. But the Nassars continue their Tent of Nations work with steadfast nonviolence and faith, living their message every day: “We refuse to be enemies.” They are an example of creative, hopeful, Christian resistance to injustice and they need the support of Christians around the world. During my visit today I had the honour of planting an olive tree on the Nasser farm. At a time when many Palestinian Christians are leaving, olive trees are a symbol of their deep roots in this land. As this tree grows, I pray that peace grows too in Palestine and Israel. Please pray for the Nasser family, Palestinian Christians and all those working for a just peace in the Holy Land.

I wish all Muslims peace and joy as they enter this season of Ramadan: this special time of prayer, fasting and spiritual reflection. I give thanks for the great contribution of Muslims to our society, and for their great hospitality and welcome. I pray that this Ramadan is a time of renewal, and that we may continue to strengthen our bonds of friendship and work together for peace and justice.

Jesus calls us to welcome the stranger. I urge the Government to reconsider much of the Illegal Migration Bill which fails to live up to our history, our moral responsibility and our political & international interests. My House of Lords speech today:

On the first day of our pilgrimage through the Holy Land, we have heard stories of the immense hardships facing Palestinians in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. But we have also seen how Palestinian Christians are offering healing, hope and care. Read more about day one, here:

A profound service of Confirmation of Election today, it reflected the diversity of the Anglican Communion and the Church of England. Receiving my charge felt like an affirmation of God’s calling: to give confidence in the Gospel and to the Church throughout my ministry.

Almost two years have passed since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have come here to stand with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers; to pray with and for them, to learn from them and to say loud and clear that, amid all that is going on in other places, the world will not forget Ukraine.

This afternoon I set out on pilgrimage from St Paul's Cathedral with fellow pilgrims and a wonderful send-off. We walked via Southwark Cathedral and will end the day with Evening Prayer at St Alphege in Greenwich. Please keep us in your prayers as we begin the journey to Canterbury.

It was very good to spend time with His Excellency Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain last week. Ahead of my meeting with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV later this month, I met with Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía at Lambeth Palace. We discussed the forthcoming visit to Rome, developments in Anglican–Roman Catholic dialogue, the joint bishops’ meeting, the wider relationship between our Churches, and my forthcoming visit to the Anglican Communion in West Africa.

Yesterday - Day three in Rome - I had the pleasure of commissioning Bishop Anthony Ball as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s representative to the Holy See. Bishop Anthony was commissioned in a beautiful choral evensong at the Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio Loyola. The service was full of joy and the hope, and brought together Anglicans, Catholics, Orthodox and many others from across God’s Church. Thank you to His Eminence Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle preached powerfully during the service about our common faith and unity in Jesus Christ. Please pray for Bishop Anthony Ball as he takes up this important ministry and for the The Anglican Centre in Rome

As I prepare for my installation at Canterbury Cathedral, it feels deeply humbling to be following in the footsteps of those who have walked this ancient route. I’m looking forward to visiting local churches, cathedrals, and holy sites along the route, and to meeting people, praying with them and hearing their stories. As I walk this path I will be praying for our Church and our world and asking God to bless those we meet. Every Christian life is a pilgrimage, a journey with God. As I begin this new chapter in my own life and ministry, I am grateful to be walking with God and with others.
