"The horrific and unprovoked attack on Ukraine is an attack of great evil.
Placing our trust in Jesus Christ, the author of peace, we pray for an urgent ceasefire and a withdrawel of Russian forces.
We call for a public decision to choose the way of peace and an intentional conference to secure long term agreements for stability and lasting peace.
We invite Christians to make this Sunday a day for prayer for Ukraine, Russia and for peace.
We also give our support to the call from Pope Francis for a global day of prayer and fasting for peace on Ash Wednesday, March 2."
Archbishop Justin Welby and Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
