To the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, 

I am sure we will all be thinking of our friends, relations, and those we know in Christchurch today. 

This first anniversary of the February  22 earthquake is a time to assure all the people of Christchurch of our prayers and of our ongoing solidarity. 

I know many of you will pause to pray during the day and to hold in your hearts the people who were so affected by this tragedy.

We continue to pray for the restoration and full recovery of this cathedral city.

Arohanui, in Christ.
