From Monday 23 May through to Sunday 29 May we are encouraging Christians across England to join in daily prayers on the theme of racial justice. These have been written by leaders and emerging leaders from our national Member Churches.
There is a prayer for each day in graphic and video form. Please share these in your churches and on social media. Don’t forget to use the #CandleOfJustice hashtag and tag us in to your posts using @ChurchesEngland.
On Wednesday 25 May we would like you to join in with the Candle of Justice Prayer at noon if you can, or at another time during that day.
Our media partner for #CandleOfJustice, Premier, will play these prayers on their radio stations during that week. There will also be a special racial justice edition of the Sunday evening Prayers of Hope radio programme on 22 May.
