THE Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will join thousands of local Christians gathering at Guildford Cathedral on Sunday, June 4.

His visit will mark the opening of the cathedral’s Beacon Event to celebrate the end of a week of global prayer for the Archbishop’s Thy Kingdom Come initiative.

“I’m so grateful for the invitation to join everyone in Guildford for the event on Pentecost Sunday,” said Archbishop Justin.

People of all ages and stages of life and faith are invited to make the pilgrimage to the cathedral’s Stag Hill site, right next to the Surrey University campus, from 4.30pm on June 4.

Free tickets are available to book online at www.guildford-cathedral.org/events/thy-kingdom-come.
