In May, as part of the Diocese of Chelmsford’s 100 Days of Prayer, the Rt Revd Adam Atkinson, the Bishop of Bradwell, undertook a series of prayer walks across the Bradwell Episcopal Area.
During this time, he visited every church in each deanery, meeting local communities, clergy, and congregations along the way.
Here we share a collection of photos from Bishop Adam’s prayer walks:
-
The first stop on Bishop Adam’s prayer walk was St. Francis Church, West Horndon. Bishop Adam was warmly welcomed by Gemma and John (Churchwardens) and Tricia (Sidesperson).
-
Bishop Adam visited St Michael’s Fobbing as part of his prayer walk across the Thurrock deanery.
-
On Ascension Day, Bishop Adam walked and prayed with those from across the Maldon and Dengie Deanery.
The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, the Bishop of Chelmsford, invited people from across the Diocese to join 100 days of prayer from Ash Wednesday, 18 February to 29 May. This dedicated period of prayer is preparing the way for an important diocesan-wide conversation beginning this autumn about how we can be an enduring missional presence in Essex and East London in the times and context in which God has placed us. This will be a wide-ranging conversation, addressing some of the challenges we face and the significant missional opportunities that are present in Essex and East London.
