Interesting to see the Archbishop of Canterbury there in Bujumbura. I hope the new primate, Eraste Bigirimana, brings some steady hands to the church in Burundi. Our own parish choir prayed for African dioceses last week, so this feels timely.

Yeah, the Archbishop of Canterbury showing up in Bujumbura does stand out. Praying for the African dioceses in choir last week was good timing on our part. I hope the new primate can keep things steady too — Burundi's had a rough stretch.
