Nationwide Festival of Light 50th Anniversary Film
It was exactly 50 years ago to the day, on Saturday 25 September, 1971, tens of thousands of people, young and old met together on London’s Trafalgar Square for the largest ever open-air gathering of Christians in British history.
We have created a 35 minute film with Lyndon, Nola and Celia reminiscing on the Nationwide Festival of Light, the birth of CARE and the future we have ahead of us to bring God's truth and transformation to our laws and culture. You can watch this special film celebrating all that God has done and is still doing in and through Christians all accross the nation.
