For those who pray for the unity of all Christians, this may be a place of interest. It is in a small village in England.
Anglican Shrine - Our Lady of Walsingham
My inspiration for making this thread was that this morning I told some friends at my church about a problem I am having with a work colleague. One of them offerred to have a prayer request put up in this place for me, she is a Friends of.... member. She said I need Mary because my job is being attacked so I need a mother (my own irl mother is dead). Since I arrived back home I remembered that my colleague was aware of some difficulty in my marriage a few months ago, and was strongly giving me unwanted advice to divorce my husband. My work environment is a local charity which provides access to creative arts for addicts who are in recovery. I am worried about harm to the people who use our services, and I do not want a divorce. If you are comfortable praying for an Anglican, please join my friends and I in our appeals. Thank you in advance.
I do not usually pray to Mary, but I do not object or get offended if others do.
This is the Slipper Chapel, the nearest Roman Catholic consecrated ground to the Shrine above, dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
This is a link to the Shrine web site history page, where you can read about the history and consequent mutual respect among Anglicans and Catholics over the site of the Shrine.
Catholic National Shrine and Basilica of Our Lady, at Walsingham. This is a different link to the Roman Catholic Shrine, which is is just over a mile away from the Anglican one.
