English content

Text block 1

People in Wales are being invited to join in a 24-hour global wave of prayer this month.The Church in Wales is taking part in the Anglican Communion virtual Day of Prayer on November 30, thought to be the first of its kind. It will bring people together from across the globe to pray for a world suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, as well as injustice, exploitation and war.The Church is leading one half-hour session with a film featuring prayers and reflections on the theme of climate change from each of its six dioceses, including some of its primary schools. The session will be introduced by the Senior Bishop, Andy John, the Bishop of Bangor and begins at 9.30am.He says, “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to join in prayer and express our solidarity with people across the world.The parish has got a lot bigger over the past year, thanks to digital technology."We have all seen how effectively we can worship online and how easy it is to reach across boundaries and borders. As the world becomes more inter-connected we learn, too, how much we have in common with each other, how our actions in one place impact our neighbours and, crucially, how we have to solve problems together to ensure the common good of all. I am delighted the Church in Wales is leading one of the sessions and I urge you to sign up, join in and make a day of it.”The event is co-ordinated by the mission agency, USPG, and more than half of the Anglican Communion’s 42 provinces will be taking part.
