Last month we reported that the Archbishops of Canterbury and York are inviting churches to pray for the evangelisation of the nation during the week leading up to Pentecost Sunday. They called on every serving parish priest to participate in a great wave of prayer across our land from 8 to 15 May. The World Prayer Centre now reports, ‘There are very encouraging stories about how many individuals, churches and cathedrals are planning to respond to the archbishops’ call for prayer.’ Partners in this prayer initiative include 24-7 Prayer, HOPE, the World Prayer Centre, the Neighbourhood Prayer Network, and the National Day of Prayer and Worship. Let us pray for a real release of a spirit of prayer and mission to flow across our lands. See all resources at
