THE wave of prayer culminated with a celebration in Winchester Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday at which the Archbishop of Canterbury was guest preacher.
The packed gathering at the cathedral was just one of several beacon events in cathedrals up and down the country and across the globe.
Hundreds packed into the cathedral and hundreds more watched on a screen in the Inner Close.
The beacon event was an opportunity for Christians from all denominations to gather with others to worship Jesus, and pray that others will come to know Him.
The Bishop of Basingstoke, the Rt Rev David Williams and Carla Harding (24-7 Prayer) hosted the event, with Archbishop Justin as guest preacher and worship led by Neil Bennetts and band.
Following Archbishop Justin’s sermon there was worship led by Matt Redman.
