The vision for the Centre's project came from the Bishop of London who appointed our first and present director, Andrew Walker, in 2000. The Centre received formal status as a charitable company in 2001 and began its activities over the course of the following two years.

During the latter part of 2001 the Centre moved into the Vestry Hall of the church of St Edmund the King, Lombard Street, where there is a hall, library, office, kitchen and enclosed garden.  We are at the heart of the City, only minutes away from St Paul's Cathedral and the Bank of England.

The church itself has now been restored and refurbished.

Our facilities include a well stocked bookshop, additional offices and meeting rooms, disabled access and facilities and a sacred space for weekly services and prayer.  We welcome visitors, and provide free coffee and a Traidcraft stall.
