In Depth:  MD Public Relations

Tears were shed during a service where a church minister publicly apologised to a member of the Windrush Generation who, 65 years ago, was told not to come back after attending a service at St Paul’s in Clapham, south London.

Pentecostal minister The Revd Carmel Jones, then a 17-year-old boy recently arrived from Jamaica, went to the local Anglican Church. At the end of the service on his third visit to the church, the minister thanked him for coming – but asked him not to return.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt. Revd Justin Welby, joined with 40,000 people to pray for peace, Christian revival and reconciliation at Festival of Life, Britain’s largest regular prayer gathering, which was held at the Excel Centre from October 17 until the early hours of October 18.

It was organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Britain’s fastest growing denomination.
