Justin Welby has said his first priority as Archbishop of Canterbury is for “a renewal of prayer and of communities that pray”.
“There has never been a renewal of Christian life in this country without there being a renewal of prayer,” he added.
Under the banner ‘The Festival of Life’, the event launched three months of prayer across the UK, supported by Hope Together.
Churches working together is essential to seeing transformation, the Archbishop said. “You keep finding them popping up here and there making things happen, bringing people together and doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time.”
“When Christians pray, things change,” Director of HOPE Together, Roy Crowne, said.
“We hope that thousands of people will join us over the next three months as we pray for the UK.”
