Today is, truly, a day for great celebration.
The first of three such celebrations that will take place this Autumn. I am sure that all of us here this evening felt that we were participating in something truly historic - we are all very grateful to the Church of Norway for their splendid hospitality here in Trondheim and for the wonderful service in which we have all just shared. I think it is appropriate at this moment to address some words of thanks to all those who have helped bring this about. We are especially grateful to all those who served on the discussions and dialogues which eventuated in the Porvoo Common Statement. I am particularly glad that so many of them are here tonight - and from quite extraordinary distances.
