Pentecost Festival is a Christian led festival based in London. It is co-ordinated by registered charity, Share Jesus International (SJI) in partnership with Christian Aid and various churches and Christian organisations across the UK.

Pentecost Festival is the largest Christian led festival in London and will be running from the 18^th-27^th May 2012 across central London venues. It attracts thousands of people and showcases what the Church in the UK is all about.

Previous highlights of Pentecost Festival have included; a BBC1 live Pentecost service broadcast at All Saints church Peckham viewed by over a million, a live music stage in Leicester Square for three consecutive years and 16,000 people attending an evening of worship in the O2 arena hosted by Jesus House church, Holy Trinity Brompton Church and Hillsong Church.

Diocese puts 'Run with the Fire' centre stage

Run with the Fire is currently centre stage on the website for the Diocese of Chelmsford. The website page on Run with the Fire provides information about the project, the DVD (with digital exhibition and arts event guide), and the exhibition to be held at the Strand Gallery from 21st - 27th May as part of the Pentecost Festival.

Five of the six Olympic Boroughs lie within the boundaries of the Chelmsford Diocese. In particular, the Diocese covers the main Olympic Park at Stratford, Hadleigh Farm, the Mountain Biking circuit, and abuts the Lee Valley White Water Centre.

The approach to the Olympics taken by the Diocese is a holistic one with a concern for the environment, regeneration and legacy, social justice, and personal and societal well-being, as well as spiritual transformation of individual lives and communities.

The Diocese have their own dedicated website for the Olympics but Run the Race is about more than just the 2012 Olympic Games. It is about inspiring and challenging the church to think about its mission in new ways.

Olympics Focus Group presentation

Today we gave a presentation on Run with the Fire to the Olympics Focus Group for the Diocese of Chelmsford. There was an enthusiastic response to the digital exhibition with Focus Group members seeing multiple uses in Olympics-themed events and Pentecost services. As a result, Run with the Fire will shortly feature on the Diocese's websites and Olympics newsletter. Run with the Fire currently features on both the ArtServe and ArtWay websites.
