Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for the 11 days from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.
What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer, taken up by 85 denominations and traditions across 90% of the countries of the world.
“In praying ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ we all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities.” Archbishop Justin Welby

Last year for Thy Kingdom Come our Confident Disciples team and the Gregory Centre (CCX) partnered in creating a prayer journeying practice.
Each day of this Ascensiontide, Bishop Ric will be embarking upon different prayer journeys covering different traditions within the Diocese.
