THE ANGLICAN CHURCH IN ZIMBABWE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS  Many of you are aware of the persecution of the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe.  Our Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, asked Bishop Shaw of Massachusetts to visit Zimbabwe and to report his findings back to the church.  Bishop Shaw describes harsh conditions but a faithful church.  Click here to see an interview with Bishop Shaw and photographs from his visit to Zimbabwe.  Bishop Shaw told them that the whole Anglican Communion was praying for them.  Let's make sure that we share the news so that his statement will be true.
