::DAY OF PRAYER: Interdenominational Divine Healing Ministries is holding its annual day of prayer "for the renewal and revival of faith in this land" in St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast on Saturday June 20.

The theme is 'healing through forgiveness' and the day runs from 10.30am to 3.30pm with speakers from different denominations leading at half-hour intervals.

It is structured in such a way that people can drop in for as little or for as long as they feel they can commit to.
