Archbishop to bless new Anglican church and lead confirmation service in
Qatar

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, will visit the Anglican
Church community in Qatar on Sunday 6 April. Dr Williams will confirm 16
people from 7 countries and preach during a confirmation service in the
English School.

During the service, which will be conducted by the Rt Revd Clive Handford,
the Bishop of Cyprus and the Gulf, Dr Williams will also bless a cross-shaped
stone for a new church building due to be constructed later this year. The
Church of the Epiphany, Doha, will be the first church built in Qatar since
the seventh century.

As previously announced, Dr Williams will be attending the second 'Building
Bridges' seminar on Christian-Muslim dialogue in Doha from 7-9 April.
