Chile: new Anglican bishop

9 January 2025

Pray for the consecration of the new Anglican Bishop of Santiago, Juan Esteban Saravia, this Sunday. At the same ceremony the Church will give thanks for the service of Archbishop Héctor Zavala Muñoz as both Bishop of Santiago and Primate of the Province of Chile and install Bishop Enrique Lago Zugadi as the new Primate. Please pray for these servants of Christ as they each take on new roles and begin a new chapter in their ministry. Pray too for the Church in Chile to continue to grow and for many more people to know and follow Jesus. Please also remember Paul Tester, CMS’s manager in Latin America, as he travels and represents CMS at the service this weekend.
