Translation.

My name is Filadelfo Oliveira Bishop of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This new experience that we are having in Lambeth has been very important to us and I think that the highpoint of our living here has been the small bible study groups because at the end of the Lambeth Conference the people that are part of this group have been talking about their feelings, their desires and their fears in the relation to the continuation of the Anglican Communion and its future.

We have participated in the eucharists each morning , they have been very rich and show the great diversity we have in the Anglican Communion we have rejoiced with the different churches from around the world as they presented thier music and their own mays to serve |God, their way to glorify God.

Also the relationships amongst the Bishops', spouses' and staff we have shown that the Anglican Communion has a future and it depends on us.

The Study of St John's book has shown us that the solution is in our hands only by following the commandments of God to love each other as he loves us so I really believe that if we leave our own desires and we follow him we can expect a good future for the Anglican Communion.
