INTERVIEWS
-
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams
Dr Williams talked about what prayer is, why we should pray, and how we should pray. He talked about the role of prayer in his own life. He talked specifically about the terrorist attacks on New York on September 11th, 2001, when Dr Williams was with a group of people close to the towers which were attacked. He described how he prayed with a group of people that they should not be afraid to tell God how frightened they were.
The Archbishop of Canterbury
The poem read by the Archbishop is the Morning Prayer of Metropolitan Philaret, as follows;
Grant me, O Lord, to greet the coming day in peace. Help me in all things to rely upon thy holy will. In every hour of the day, reveal thy will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by thee. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering or embarrassing others. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. Direct my will; teach me to pray; pray thou thyself in me. Amen. -

Camilla Kerslake
Recently signed to Gary Barlow’s new Future Records label, Camilla’s exciting future holds no limits.
Early last year Camilla ‘camped’ outside a London studio determined to give Gary the demo tape she had saved up to record. Her persistence paid off and he eventually listened. “I was instantly captivated by it,” Gary admits. “Her voice is a unique and powerful instrument.”
Camilla was the special guest for two Christmas shows with Il Divo at Hammersmith Apollo (December 7th, 8th 2009). Accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Camilla joined Il Divo onstage for two duets as well as having three solo performances. Recently she sang the national anthem before the Carling Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.
