  • A Prayer on the Anniversary of the First Moon Landing
    The Church of England is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with the publication of a special prayer, as events take place around the world to celebrate the event. The prayer, which is being shared on social media, speaks of man’s drive to “explore the mysteries of creation” and the need to cherish our world. Churches and cathedrals across England are marking the anniversary with special events. At Lichfield Cathedral, One Small Step, a 36 metre artwork replica of the lunar surface opens on Saturday morning – the anniversary of the landing - giving visitors the chance to ‘walk on the moon’ until the end of September. Also on Saturday, Birmingham Cathedral is hosting two showings of ‘Interstellar’, an immersive sound and light show celebrating the moon landing. The Bishop of Kingston, Richard Cheetham, who is a Co-Director of Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science, a project to promote greater understanding between science and faith, encouraged churches to use the anniversary of the moon landing as an opportunity for prayer and reflection. “After decades of space travel, including the iconic moon landing 50 years ago, we are more aware than ever of the vastness and complexity of the cosmos,” he said. “Living, as we do, in a scientific age it is vital that our understanding and practice of Christian faith celebrates and engages deeply with the huge potential which science brings to our understanding of the universe, and ensures it is used wisely. “The Equipping Christian leadership in an Age of Science project has sought to help the church to do that in many ways.
