Dear subscriber, I was very sad to learn that the Duke of Edinburgh had passed away this morning. My thoughts and prayers are with Her Majesty The Queen and the whole Royal Family as they come to terms with their deep loss. We give thanks for his long life and his devotion to duty, his service in the Royal Navy during World War 2, and his support for many charitable causes.

Into your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brother Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In this life you embraced him with your tender love, and opened to him the gate of heaven. The old order has passed away, as you welcome him into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen In Christ, Tuomas Mäkipää, Anglican Chaplain tuomas.makipaa@anglican.fi 050-3099132 Unsubscribe | Manage your subscription The Anglican Church in Finland, Tehtaankatu 23 B, 00150 Helsinki
