Thy Kingdom Come is our call to prayer
Bishop Harold Miller is urging Christians to engage fully in the prayer initiative launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
‘Thy Kingdom Come’ will run from Ascension Day to the Day of Penetecost, Thursday, May 25 to Sunday, June 4 respectively.
In addition to having been picked up by Anglicans all over the world, ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ has sparked much ecumenical interest.
The Coptic Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist Church and some of the black–led Pentecostal churches are among those to have shown particular interest. Praying that people should know Jesus is not only our Lord’s great desire; it seems also to draw Christians together across historical and cultural divides.
With the days between Jesus’ Ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost being among the most significant in church history, ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ focuses minds on the importance of this world–changing period.
