Acknowledging Christ


Respect for God in the Assembly


In the Houses of Parliament there is a Christian chaplain and every sitting begins with a Bible Reading and Christian prayer.

Prayers in the Scottish Parliament are once a week, but in the National Assembly, there is no recognition of God in any of its practises. This was not decided by a vote of the Assembly Members, but behind the scenes, before the Assembly was ever convened.

We think that this should change. We think that every sitting of the Assembly should begin with Christian prayer, as they do in Westminster. In Wales, we would like these prayers to be said by our young people of faith, invited, individually, from all over Wales, to come and pray for our Nation's leaders, before they start the business of every Assembly day.


Every Assembly session to start with the Christian prayers of the young people of Wales.
