Introducing:

The main focus of the FDI is on the work and ministry of the members of the Episcopal congregations in Iran. It is for them we pray and offer such support as we can for the work of the diocese. They need our prayers and concern amidst the pressures of daily life and the isolation of being a small and scattered fellowship. We are also able to engage with the wider ministries that have developed among members of the diocese scattered in different parts of the world and the gifts they have been able to bring to the communities in which they have settled. May we all be found faithful in our support and prayer.

John Clark, Chair of FDI.

A Prayer for Iran

0 Lord God, Heavenly Father,
you brought the Persian magi to honour our Lord Jesus Christ at his birth,
after they had waited hundreds of years for a Saviour.
We now pray for your people in Iran,
both those who already know you and those who are still waiting.
Pour down you Holy Spirit among them:
redeem them, heal them, build them up,
guide them into all truth, and protect them
in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
