The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd Rowan Williams, has sent a message of sympathy and support to the people of Asia and parts of Africa affected by the devastation caused by Sunday’s earthquake.
In a personal letter to Anglican leaders in the region Archbishop Rowan said: “This tragedy has had a devastating impact in Asia; it is also felt here in Britain and across the world. Every life lost is a personal tragedy for each family and our hearts go out to the bereaved and injured. The hardship caused by this devastation will be a challenge to many and will require the help and support of the world community. You are all very much in my thoughts and prayers at this time.”
