Church aims to ‘make its mark’ with a national Walk of Witness to commemorate Bicentenary of the Act for the abolition of the slave trade
 |
The Church of England invites people from across the country to join the Archbishops of Canterbury and York for an historic event on Saturday 24 March to mark the Bicentenary of the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Put the date in your diary now!
The Archbishops will lead the Walk of Witness through parts of the capital to culminate in a large-scale act of worship at Kennington Park. The event, organised by the Church’s Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns (CMEAC), forms the main part of the Church’s wider awareness campaign, Making our Mark, set up following the General Synod debate in February 2006 on the subject of the Bicentenary.
