Culture Taker or Culture Shaper?
Hosted by Bishop Graham Tomlin, Centre for Cultural Witness.
We live in times when social expectations, technology and visions of the future are rapidly influencing the way we work. In order to engage with this fast-moving culture, it is vital to understand the dynamics at play. With this in mind, this seminar will explore key aspects of today’s work and social culture and the place of faith within it. It will also offer ways in which we can provide effective witness in a manner that makes an impact, drawing on examples from real people who have made a tangible difference.
AI, Faith and the Future
Hosted by Kevin Bennett, Premier Christian Radio and Mal Fletcher
The AI revolution will change the world of work, government, democracy, media and society. How it changes these areas will depend on each of us. Cut through the hype of both the AI-doomers and techno-optimists. Explore how Christians should respond to this emerging new technology. Join globally recognised futurist, Mal Fletcher, and CEO of Premier, Kevin Bennett, for a fascinating and important discussion.
Sharing the Gospel at work
Hosted by Carl Knightly, London City Mission.
The workplace provides great opportunities to share the life-giving news about Jesus with friends and colleagues. But it often feels daunting, uncomfortable and there are all kinds of obstacles that we face as individuals. Join us in this session hosted by London City Mission, as we share stories, experiences and get some help with resources from our great panel to grow in your confidence. Come with your questions!
Live Music
We have live worship.

2023 Breakfast
The 54th Annual City Prayer Breakfast, held on Wednesday, 11th October 2023, was a memorable gathering that brought together over 250 attendees in person, with many more joining online.
We had the honour of hearing from Professor John Lennox, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University and Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College. Professor Lennox delivered a thought-provoking talk titled “A Good Return: Why Do I Work?” His insights resonated deeply with attendees, offering a stimulating and relevant perspective on the biblical principles of work, wealth, and wisdom. For those who missed it, his book, “A Good Return: Biblical Principles of Work, Wealth and Wisdom,” remains available online and might even make a thoughtful Christmas gift.
