From The Church Times-THE Archbishop of Canterbury said that he was praying for a "Pentecostal experience" at the 15th meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC), which got under way last weekend in New Zealand.
Speaking to ACC members on Saturday, at the TelstraClear Pacific Events Center, in Auckland, Dr Williams said that he hoped that "divided tongues of fire will touch us all in the days ahead; that we shall learn to listen to one another's languages, experience, and insight with all the enthusiasm and eagerness with which we would listen to God's own word".
Preaching a sermon at the opening eucharist of the ACC, in Holy Trinity Cathedral, in Auckland, on Sunday, Dr Williams said that the Anglican Communion should "constantly . . . draw others in".
He continued: "If we are prepared to risk loving the unlovable, knowing that we the unlovable have already been loved, then we'll be the Church, and then, please God, our wonderful quarrelsome, diverse, untidy Anglican Communion will testify in and through the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father."
