THE Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu will welcome more than 40 Porvoo Church Leaders to a meeting at Bishopthorpe Palace this week.

Dr Sentamu and Bishop Helga Haugland Byfuglien, presiding Bishop of the Church of Norway, will deliver Bible Studies on the theme Towards Greater Unity and Closer Fellowship.

The Porvoo Communion is a Communion of Anglican and Lutheran churches, mostly in Northern and Western Europe, that have signed an agreement to “share a common life in mission and service”.
