This period is one of preparation, of readying ourselves and looking forward to the wonder of Christ’s birth. Today, we gather for prayer, reflection and music, and to celebrate the Good News in which all Christians rejoice: those around us, and those in areas where it is not easy to live out one’s faith,” said the monarch.
He concluded: “I am so plesed to be joined by church leaders from across the UK and Middle East, leaders of other faiths, charity representatives, and so many of you who contribute to your communities in myriad ways.”
During the service, the monarch shook hands and engaged with church leaders from across the UK and abroad, including the Most Revd Hosam Naoum, the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem and the Middle East.
