Archbishop to pray for Middle East peace in first Easter sermon
Archbishop of Canterbury calls for urgent peace in the Middle East during her first Easter sermon, as the ongoing war enters its sixth week, having killed thousands.
- On Easter Sunday, Archbishop of Canterbury Dame Sarah Mullally delivered her first Easter sermon at Canterbury Cathedral, calling "with renewed urgency" for an end to violence and destruction in the Middle East and the Gulf.
- The US-Israel war against Iran, now in its sixth week, prompted Mullally's plea as the conflict has claimed thousands of lives and triggered a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, causing global fuel prices to soar.
- Addressing 2,000 guests, including the Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Mullally honored those in hospitals and hospices, describing their work as "a vigil of care—of staying present in the quiet and the dark."
- Echoing the plea for peace, Archbishop of Westminster Richard Moth spoke of a humanity "scarred by warfare" during Saturday's vigil mass, urging communities to share the love and peace of the Risen Lord.
- Since her enthronement last month, Mullally has navigated deepening divisions within the Anglican Communion while maintaining a consistent pastoral focus on global conflict, positioning her leadership as a pivotal moral voice.
