Groundbreaking of the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer

Eternal Wall of Answered PrayerYesterday Thomas Grantham-Wright attended the Groundbreaking of the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer.

A remarkable project to be a part of, that unites architecture, landscape, and storytelling on a monumental scale. With the drive to transform a site near Birmingham into a place of reflection and community, the interplay between the 51-metre Möbius-shaped structure and its surrounding landscape invites visitors to pause, connect, and engage with over one million stories of answered prayer.

Congratulations to the entire team bringing this vision to life.
