Coronation chickens? Not us!

Churches and communities across Britain and beyond have been finalising their preparations ahead of the Coronation.

Jonathan Gillespie, assistant curate at All Souls Langham Place, says: ‘It’s a missional opportunity to point to monarchy under Jesus’ loving rule.’ And Ben Topham, associate rector at St George’s Church, Stamford and St James Gerrards Cross, pointed out that many will get invited to family events and street parties. ‘We are encouraging our church family to plug into those, to be a Christian presence in those places.’

Adrian Reynolds, head of national ministries at the FIEC said: ‘It’s always good for churches to connect with local and national events to promote the gospel, and the Coronation weekend is a great opportunity to show that we take 1 Timothy 2 seriously, as well as declaring the kingship of Jesus over all the earth.’
