Prayer Diary July - September 2021 - Diocese in Europe

Prayer Diary July – September 2021
This diary has been compiled to help us pray together for one another and our common
concerns. It is also available on the diocesan website www.europe.anglican.org, both for
downloading (PDF) and for viewing. The latter should be updated as new appointments and
other changes are announced.
A daily prayer update is sent via PrayerMate and Twitter (on the diocesan account
@DioceseinEurope)
Each chaplaincy, with the communities it serves, is remembered in prayer once a quarter,
following this weekly pattern:
    •   Eastern Archdeaconry: Monday, Saturday
    •   Archdeaconry of France: Tuesday, Saturday
    •   Archdeaconry of Gibraltar: Wednesday, Saturday
    •   Italy & Malta Archdeaconry: Friday

    •   Swiss Archdeaconry: Friday
    •   Archdeaconry of Germany and Northern Europe
    •   Nordic and Baltic Deanery: Monday

On Sundays, we pray for subjects which affect us all (e.g. reconciliation, on Remembrance
Sunday), or which have local applications for most of us (e.g. the local cathedral or cathedrals).
This will include Diocesan Staff, Churches in Communion and Ecumenical Partners.

Sunday Intercessions should, by tradition, include prayer for Bishop Robert and the local
Head of State by name. In addition, prayers may also include Bishop David (the Suffragan
Bishop) and, among the heads of other states, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the leaders
of other countries represented in the congregation.
