Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! (Ps 133:1) Once again we meet, Your Grace, as co-workers in the Lords vineyard and fellow pilgrims on the path to his Kingdom. I welcome you and the distinguished members of your delegation We must walk together. Your Grace, I thank you once more for your visit. I ask the Lord to shower his blessings on your ministry and to sustain you and your loved ones in joy and peace. Amen.
