You are invited to a service with the Archbishop of Canterbury
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Dr Rowan Williams, will be making a three day visit to Gloucestershire this July. This will be the Archbishop’s first trip to the Diocese of Gloucester in his official capacity since he was enthroned in February 2003.
The visit has been given the title Share the Light and much work has gone into putting together a programme of events, which will allow as many people as possible to share in and be part of this momentous visit. On Sunday 22 July the Archbishop will be leading and speaking at a special service in the Forest of Dean.
