FOUR members of an international ecumenical community have been invited to move into Lambeth Palace to pray for and encourage the Archbishop of Canterbury's ministry. Archbishop Justin Welby said that the French Catholic foundation Chemin Neuf would come to live "as a community of prayer, hospitality and learning at Lambeth Palace".

An Anglican couple, Ione and Alan Morley-Fletcher, a Lutheran training for ministry, Oliver Matri, and a Catholic consecrated sister, Ula Michlowicz, will move in from January next year.
