Faith Leaders Hold Vigil of Hope to End Rioting; Church of England Parishes Grant Help in London

The Christian Today website reports that as violent rioting continues throughout London, Christian leaders and politicians held a vigil of hope last night (August 8, 2011) in response to the carnage.

In several areas of the city flames are ripping through shops and cars, as hundreds of hooded looters take to the streets intending to cause damage.

Despite the horrors, faith leaders and politicians united in an effort to bring peace to the capital.

Held at The High Cross in Tottenham, the peace vigil was organized by the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church, as well as Pentecostal and independent churches.

Church of England parishes in Tottenham are providing practical help for members of the community.
