Dear Supporters of Stop the Rave in the Nave at Canterbury Cathedral,

Thank you for your brilliant support so far. We have over 1200 signatures!

I met with the Dean of the Cathedral, who while respectful of our right to protest, was dismissive of our petition, stating that we were an extreme minority - for not wanting an alcohol fuelled rave to the music of Eminem in God's house! He was convinced (with no evidence) that the majority of Christians would support this disco, and our petition and reasoned arguments could not change his mind.

The disco is going ahead.

Therefore our protest prayer vigil will go ahead also. We shall gather neae the war memorial on Burgate outside Christ Church Gate (the main entrance to the Cathedral precincts), from 6pm on Thursday 8th Feb.

We will sing hymns, read scripture, hold banners and be a visible presence of faithful Christians glorifying God while He is ignored and desecrated within the Cathedral.

It is really important that we do this. The company organising it has boasted that *the majority* of the great Cathedrals of the UK will be hosting their raves over the coming months. If we do not resist, our ancient temples will become nightclubs on a regular basis, and the Christian faith in this country will be further diminished.

If you are able to join, PLEASE CONFIRM ATTENDANCE by emailing canterburyvigil@gmail.com

Further details will appear on this site, which you can share to promote the vigil:
