Church hosts prayer meeting after synagogue attack

A special service and prayer meeting will be held at a Wolverhampton church, after two Jewish men were killed in an attack on a synagogue in Manchester

A church will host a prayer meeting after two Jewish men were killed in an attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

St Silas' Church in Wolverhampton is based in a building that was previously a synagogue, with many of its original features having been preserved.

"We therefore feel a special concern for the Jewish people," a church representative said.

The special service and prayer meeting will be held at the church on Long Street at 19:30 BST, with people of all churches, as well as those who don't belong to a church, welcome to attend.
