John 17.20-26
“Rowan Williams reminds us, ‘Unity is not an option: it is the given fact behind the struggle to understand each other.’ This means unity is not about agreement — it is about relationship. It requires humility, the willingness to listen, and the courage to stay in community even when it is difficult. It demands justice, because unity that ignores suffering is not the unity of Christ,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves

John 14:23-29
“Rowan Williams writes, ‘The gift of the Spirit is the gift of a kind of ‘staying power’ with Jesus.’ This is the peace Jesus offers — not an escape from trouble, but the courage to remain rooted in love even when life is uncertain,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
John 13:31-35
“In a world that often feels divided, harsh, and uncertain, Jesus gives us a simple, but radical, command: Love one another. Not just in words, not just in feeling, but in action. This is how the world will recognise us — not by our beliefs, but by our love,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
