New Prayer Event for Young Adults in London

A new prayer event for young adults (16-30) will be launched 5 October, at St Andrew's, Holborn Circus, London.

Rt Rev Richard Chartres, Anglican Diocese of London said: "The Spirit is moving in the new Europe and I very much look forward to this new initiative which will bring young people together from around London to pray together inspired by the Gospel".

Inspired by 'Jesus Christ the Fullness of Life', where 2000 young adults gathered to process and pray through the streets of London during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2005, the new prayer event will be titled 'Jesus Christ the Fullness of Life the prayer continues'.

On the first Thursday of each month at 7:30pm, the prayer aims to offer young adults the chance to discover real meaning in their lives through an experience of the Word of God.
