Prime Minster hosts prayer group at Downing Street
Prime Minister Gordon Brown invited 80 senior church leaders to a reception in Downing Street on Wednesday “In Honour of the Global Day of Prayer London”, during which he also highlighted the Millennium Development Goals and Call to Action declaration. The Global Day of Prayer London (GDOP) is a movement of collaboration across the Christian church in the capital towards unity, prayer and transformation, and is part of a global network which began in South Africa at the turn of the Millennium.
In 2007, over 250 million Christians united in 203 countries to pray. Here in London, GDOP has been a focus of prayer and Christian action since 2006 with last year’s event at West Ham stadium attracting 20,000 Christians.

The National Secular Society has condemned the decision to allow registrars to opt out of conducting civil partnerships on the grounds of their religious objections.
