Prayer Vigil : 12th May : Opposite Parliament
Article Published: 9th May 2008
Join us for a prayer vigil opposite St Stephen’s Entrance to the House of Lords, Westminster, on May 12th at 2 p.m., when the second reading of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill goes through the House of Commons.
We are expecting a counter demonstration from supporters of the Bill, so it would be good to have as many people present as possible. Please invite members of your church, Christian groups, family and friends.
At Second Reading, MPs vote on the ‘principle’ of the whole Bill. This is usually a formality and then the Bill goes through to its Committee Stages, Report and Third Reading where MPs can vote on specific amendments.
With faith and humility we must come together to pray for a great miracle. Monday, 12th May is the day after Pentecost and exactly 2 years since the miraculous defeat at Second Reading of the Joffe Bill which would have legalised euthanasia in this country. We would like Christians everywhere to come in their hundreds and stand outside Parliament and pray for this miracle; pray that MPs will vote against the principle of the Bill. If such a vote is won then the Bill will be defeated right from the outset.
