Christians unite against corruption
Churches have united in London for the historic launch of a global Christian response to corruption. EXPOSED is being led by Christian organisations including Micah Challenge, The Salvation Army, Bible Society and the World Evangelical Alliance. It is the first time that so many Christian organisations have united to stand against corruption. The campaign aims to shine a light on corruption, which they warn is a major contributing factor to global poverty. Campaign chairman and International Director of Micah Challenge, Rev Joel Edwards, said: ‘No nation is immune. This current economic crisis means that greed, the excesses of corporate cultures, dishonesty and unaccountable behaviour has touched us where it hurts. ‘EXPOSED is here to join an increasing chorus of concern, which says ‘enough is enough’. ‘It is an opportunity for the church to do what we are called to do: to raise our voice in holy outrage and provide practical offerings of hope.’
Pray: for people worldwide to commit to and promote practical steps for ethical behaviour in business, government, the church and wider society. (Ac.2:40)

Essex churchgoers in YouTube appeal for new vicar
Essex parishioners without a vicar for 16 months have taken to YouTube in the hope of filling the vacancy. The villages of Woodham Ferrers and Bicknacre have had no vicar since the Rev Mary Cottee retired in June 2011. After receiving no interest in the post, parishioners made their own video appealing for applicants. Churchwarden Nick Kitchen said: ‘We're looking for somebody with enthusiasm who is flexible and willing to get involved in the community.’ The video, posted on YouTube, features a cardboard cut-out vicar officiating at a wedding, a baptism and a school assembly. The parish has two churches, St Andrew's in Bicknacre and St Mary's in Woodham Ferrers. Currently it has to ‘borrow’ retired clergy and vicars from neighbouring parishes to officiate at some of its services, with volunteers organising other events. So far, only five people have downloaded an application form for the job but nobody has yet returned it.
Pray: for God to raise up people to lead churches and congregations wherever they are needed. (Eph.4:11-12)
