Paraguay: new bishop

3 April 2025

Praise God for the consecration of the new Anglican Bishop of Paraguay, Ronald Irene, on 27 March. He was consecrated in a joyful and moving service joined by representatives from around the world including Paul Tester, Tim Curtis, Alison and Chris Hawksbee and Beryl Baker from CMS. Pray for the Church in its three-fold focus over the coming year – identity, unity, growth – and for Bishop Ronald and his family as he leads the Church forward. CMS continues to support the Anglican Church’s leadership formation amongst the indigenous peoples of the Paraguayan Chaco so please pray particularly for emerging leaders to be formed to serve Christ in mission and for growth in the Church there through the making of new disciples.
