Come with us to Westminster Abbey to mark 80 years of Christian Aid 🙌 We were joined by supporters, staff, volunteers, church leaders and global guests, to reflect on 80 years of standing with communities around the world. At the service, we were treated to an extraordinary rendition of the reimagined classic, When I Needed a Neighbour. Storm Cecile captivated us with a strikingly bold and moving poem about the enduring strength of hope. Patrick Watt and Bishop Sarah Mullally offered thoughtful reflections on this pivotal moment, encouraging gratitude for the past and optimism for the future. Rev Jerry Pillay delivered a heartfelt message, inspiring us to embody God’s lifeline to the world. The day brought us together to recognise the influence of our shared endeavors, renew our dedication to the mission of hope and celebrate the steadfast spirit that drives our efforts forward. Thank you to everyone who was able to make the day special ♥️ (fb)
