Those taking part will include the Dean of Westminster (Rev. E. S. Abbott), the Administrator of Westminster Cathedral (Mgr. Gordon Wheeler), and the Minister of the Westminster Central Hall (Rev. Derrick Greeves).
The rally will last under half an hour, and on its conclusion all present will be urged to go at once and pray silently for unity in neighbouring churches.
