A special Easter Greeting to all within the Anglican Free Communion. As I write these few words in the heart of Holy Week, I see how the modern world, in spite of its many advances and achievements, has not overcome the cruelty and evil which were at the centre in the passion story of Jesus. The prevalence of evil is ever- present, fully manifested in our midst. A week or so ago London felt the sorrow of a terror attack on one of its famous bridges and at the Palace of Westminster, the Parliament building. Our Communion began in London: and your prayers are asked for the nation as Britain tries to understand the terrible events it experienced. But there are many countries across the Episcopal Free Church, and related church's, where violence is an on-going factor. We all must remain steadfast in our resolve that our Christian faith confirms the final triumph of good over ill. Christ has conquered and shows us that we too share in his victory. We see many examples of the wonderful work of the Communion. On Facebook beautiful pictures appear, whether from South America or elsewhere where our work flourishes. All being such a joy to behold, and reveals evidence of our resurrection faith. Terrible as it was, Passiontide was but a prelude to something more glorious. A sign that we must never give up as we meet the challenges of the present times. May the Risen Saviour be our constant guide through times of darkness and uncertainty, to strengthen us and help each one of us to be a beacon of the resurrection light to all we encounter.
With my love and blessings as we journey together,
+Richard Archbishop Primus
