Final Eucharist at Lambeth


Episcopal News Service on the closing Eucharist at Lambeth

"Members of the four religious communities of Melanesia, in white robes, brown robes and grey habits, sang a haunting chant -- the Litany of Saints and Martyrs of Melanesia -- as they took a document with the names from Williams. In a procession, joined by Pogo, they brought the names through a carved archway in the rood screen and into the east end of the cathedral. Their lyrical song could be heard echoing through the ten-story-high church after the congregation could no longer see them."
