Join us for another action-packed session in the Arena, as we're joined by a very special guest: the Archbishop of Canterbury! Justin Welby will be interviewed by our own Rachel Gardner about why faith and prayer make sense, even in a world that often doesn't. There’ll be more fun and games, another chance to worship together, and lots more!
