Pentecost Explored

What is this Pentecost?

Discover more about Pentecost, its origins, its history, and its spirit as the Sunday morning sees churches around London open their doors to the public with interactive guest services. An opportunity for all - local church congregations, visitors and others – to try a different expression of church.

Just find a church in the programme, read about its style and cultural origins, and get there. Experience and understand a different cultural expression of faith.
