Be Faithful! 6th July


Many of us over here are looking forward with great anticipation to Be Faithful! – Confessing Anglicans in Global and Local Mission taking place in Central Hall Westminster on Monday. As of Thursday night, over 1000 people were registered.  We expect more to come.

We are encouraged by the number of Church of England Bishops who have indicated their attendance.

These include:

Bishop Michael Langrish, Exeter
Bishop David Urquhart, Birmingham
Bishop Michael Nazir Ali, Rochester
Bishop John Hind, Chichester
Bishop Wallace Benn, Lewes
Bishop Colin Fletcher, Dorchester
Bishop Keith Sinclair, Birkenhead
Bishop John  Broadhurst, Fulham
Bishop Andrew Burnham, Ebbsfleet
Bishop Keith Newton, Richborough
Bishop John Ball  (Retd – Assistant in Chelmsford)
Bishop Colin Bazley (Retd – Assistant in Chester)
Bishop John Ellison  (Retd – Assistant in Winchester)
Bishop Maurice Sinclair  (Retd – Assistant in Birmingham)

Bishop Peter Forster of Chester, the Bishop-elect of Southwell and Nottingham, Paul Butler, and Bishop Michael Scott-Joynt of Winchester have sent public messages of support.

Archbishop Peter Akinola is also sending Archbishop Nicholas Okoh and Bishop David Onuoha from Nigeria to bring his personal message of greeting and support.

Please pray for us on this day.

On Sunday July 5th, speakers from the event will be speaking in 13 pulpits from the Birmingham area to South London – and addressing probably upwards of 2000 people, most of whom would not be coming on the Monday.

We know that the national media (Times, Telegraph, Guardian, BBC) are all planning to come. Please pray for the press conference over the lunch hour.

Our focus is a day of fellowship and celebration. We open the doors an hour before the programme begins and people will gather for coffee in an exhibition area. We then move into the conference hall for worship songs for half an hour before the programme starts.
