The Archbishop of Canterbury was due to be in Dublin at the Church of Ireland’s MindMatters conference on mental health. The conference is exploring how the church and faith can help those coping with anxiety, depression and poor mental health. Archbishop Justin was unable to attend the conference as he is making a pastoral visit to the Anglican church in Jerusalem amidst the Israel-Hamas war.
The Archbishop delivered his speech via video link from Jerusalem, addressing delegates from across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The Church’s Ministry of Healing: Ireland has recorded a six-part video series, Cultivating Gratitude, which uses prayerful reflection and mindfulness practice to help us to find space to notice the good in our lives, even amidst our struggles.
From October 5, a video will be uploaded each week for six weeks, in which Lydia Monds, CMH:I Ministry Leader, shares a reflection and leads a meditative practice which invites you to slow down and notice God’s goodness.
Lydia says: “There’s a lovely sense of warmth and hope when we tend to the good in our lives, let our gratitude linger, and offer it to God, the source of all good things.”
These video sessions are available to you whenever you have some time in your week – no need to be free on a set day at a set time. Once you sign up via Eventbrite, making a donation to support the work of CMH:I, you will receive a weekly email with the link to the new session, and you will have permanent access to all the sessions so you can practice as often as you like.
