Asian Christian church in UK celebrates 50 years

At the celebration

Asian Christians from across the nation gathered together in early November to meet in prayer and harmony as they celebrated the formation of the first Asian Christian church in the UK, 50 years ago.

Groups from across the country presented testimonies of the growth of their own churches and their aspirations as they heard past accounts of the famous beginnings of the pioneers.

Presentations

First Secretary Dildar Ali Abro attended in place of the High Commissioner of Pakistan. Trophies were presented to the leading dignitaries within the Pakistani Christian community, which included ones to the first Asian bishop in the Church of England, Michael Nazir Ali, and the first Pak-Christian GP employed by the NHS and founder of Gateway TV, Dr Peter David.
