Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast in Bath

On Friday 27 May a group of our regional Church leaders from across Somerset were in Bath for a Prayer Breakfast organised by Churches Together in Somerset..

We gathered at Bath Abbey Education Centre and met with local church leaders, including Fr Richard and Mother Sarah from Bath Orthodox Church.

'Meeting together across six denominations for fellowship and prayer was very special', said Somerset County Ecumenical Officer Jonathan LLoyd. 'An important focus was sharing our plans for warmly welcoming Ukrainian families across the County, through our local church communities.'
