THE Archbishop of Dublin, Dr John Neill, has said that the crisis in the Anglican Communion can be viewed positively as an opportunity for vocation. He was preaching on Tuesday at the annual Synod Eucharist, held in St Nicholas’s Collegiate Church in Galway.

“Other Christian world Communions have commented that the issues we are facing as Anglicans are there for all Christians, even if below the surface, and it may well be our vocation to pioneer a way forward,” Dr Neill said. “It is only together that the Churches today can . . . seize the opportunities for service and mission that are there.”
