The visit by Archbishop
Justin Welby to Leicester called “The Big Conversation” has been well-publicised in the media. It is good to be part of
a church which has an Archbishop who is so willing to speak of his faith –
whether that be on the “Hospital Hopper” or in conversation with students.
One of the
events in the programme was “In Jesus Name” on the Tuesday night at the
Leicester Arena (where Leicester Riders basketball team play). Christians of
all denominations were invited to come. There were about 2500 present. Those who didn’t come missed a treat. There
was modern worship, a talk by the Archbishop, several sessions of prayer led by
church leaders of different congregations and nominations, and an Act of
Commitment to Mission, made by those present.
If you didn’t
manage to come, there are several videos available:
